Coastal Cleanup Day 2026
About the Event
On September 19, join I Love A Clean San Diego for a powerful county-wide cleanup!
Coastal Cleanup Day calls on 4,000 volunteers to take part in local cleanup efforts across San Diego County beaches, parks, neighborhoods, and canyons.
In three hours, volunteers keep the places we love clean and beautiful by preventing tens of thousands of pounds of litter from reaching our waterways.
When you participate, you're powering an international movement. Data collected from each cleanup site contributes to the world’s largest marine debris database.
Registration opens September 1, 2026.
There are accessible sites for all backgrounds, abilities, and ages. Spots fill up fast. Choose your site at cleanupday.org.
