SLO County Coastal Cleanup Day

The 34th annual Coastal Cleanup Day event invites volunteers from our community to clean up trash. Every year since 2005, ECOSLO coordinates beach cleanups from San Simeon to Nipomo. Even though Central Coast beaches are cleaner than some, last year we removed nearly 6,500 pounds of trash and recyclables from our beaches, waterways and lakes. In California, Coastal Cleanup Day holds the distinction of drawing the most participation of any volunteer event over its thirty year history. As County Coordinator, ECOSLO works with the California Coastal Commission to bring out our community in the campaign for healthy coasts, shorelines, and oceans. Last year, 1,300 volunteers removed trash and recyclables from 30 cleanup locations throughout San Luis Obispo County. Check out our event page at http://ecoslo.org/coastal-cleanup-day/. Please note that while liking and joining this event on facebook helps make it visible (and please share it everywhere!), we ask that you sign up online at http://ecoslo.org/coastal-cleanup-day/ to help us anticipate supplies needed for each site.
