Rubio's Sponsors 31st Annual Coastal Cleanup Day

Rubio’s Restaurants, the brand that has counted the ocean as a source of inspiration since its founding more than 30 years ago, is teaming up with the California Coastal Commission to sponsor the 31st Annual Coastal Cleanup Day on Saturday, September 19 from 9 a.m. to noon. The statewide beach cleanup is expected to draw tens of thousands of volunteers to help remove cigarette butts, plastic bags, food wrappers and other types of plastic pollutants at more than 850 locations throughout California.

As the state’s largest volunteer event, California Coastal Cleanup Day brings community members together in support of coastal awareness and conservancy. Last year’s event attracted more than 66,800 volunteers with over 1.2 million pounds of trash and recyclables removed from California’s beaches, lakes and waterways. In addition to its sponsorship, Rubio’s Team Members will be attending select cleanups throughout San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County and Northern California offering attendees the chance to spin the Rubio’s prize wheel to win free meal vouchers and branded goodies. To thank hard-working volunteers for their support, vouchers for free tacos and complimentary kids meals will be distributed at all 850 cleanup locations.
