Redwood City, County To Host Coastal Cleanup Week

REDWOOD CITY, CA — The public is invited to participate in Coastal Cleanup week from Sept. 12 to Sept. 18 around San Mateo County. Over 50 cleanup locations throughout the county are available for Coastal Cleanup Day on Sept. 18.

Redwood City’s Pride and Beautification Committee is also encouraging residents to clean up litter in their own neighborhoods and send in photos to be posted on the city’s website. Those who need gloves, bags or litter grabbers can contact the public works department.

The cleanup event is a “great way for families, friends, community groups, and schools to come together to help clean up creeks, parks, neighborhoods, and local beaches,” according to the county.

Anyone who is interested in being a site captain or knows of a location that would be a good cleanup site is asked to contact the Pollution Prevention Program at 650-339-9526 or email pollutionprevention@smcgov.org.
