The event, which is largest single-day volunteer event in the world, according to Guinness World Records, invited eco-friendly volunteers across the state to pick up trash along coastal areas ranging from Lake Tahoe to the San Francisco Bay.
According to the California Coastal Commission, which organizes the event, 28,751 volunteers scoured over 750 cleanup sites removing over 254,772 pounds of trash and recyclable materials. These numbers are likely to increase, given only 60% of cleanup sites had reported final numbers as of Monday.
