The annual Coastal Cleanup Day is Saturday, with 50,000 volunteers expected — here’s how to participate
HAYWARD, CALIFORNIA – SEPTEMBER 17: Joy Molina, left, Peyton Alaniz, 11, Laurel Manfredi and Stephanie Alaniz, right, all of Hayward, along with dozens of volunteers take part in the 38th annual Coastal Cleanup Day at the Hayward Regional Shoreline in Hayward, Calif., on Saturday, Sept. 17, 2022.
“This is a three-hour event that happens once a year, but it has ripples through society,” said Eben Schwartz, marine debris program manager at the California Coastal Commission, which oversees the event. In 2009, plastic grocery bags made up 8.7% of the pieces of litter found in California during coastal cleanup days. Last year, they totaled just 1.3%.
