2017 Coastal Cleanup Day is Coming Up!

Join thousands of community members throughout San Mateo County to take part in California’s largest volunteer event!

In 2016, more than 4,000 volunteers removed 26,000 pounds of trash and recyclables from San Mateo County’s beaches, creeks, and neighborhoods.

When: September 16, 2017, 9am-Noon (most locations)

Where: Over 30 locations in San Mateo County. Find a location near you at: smchealth.org/ccd

Sign up or contact the site captain to let them know you are coming!

What To Bring:

1) Waiver form - To expedite check-in on the day of the event, please print and sign the waiver form and bring it with you to the cleanup site. Remember,volunteers under the age of 18 must have a waiver form signed by their parent or legal guardian.

2) Supplies - Bring your own buckets, gloves and a reusable water bottle and help reduce our overall footprint during the event. Also wear comfortable shoes and dress in layers. You'd be surprised what we find along the coast. Take photos of what you prevented from entering waterways and post them to Facebook and Twitter using the hashtag #CCDSMC and tag @SMCHealth while you're at it.

Thank you for helping keep San Mateo County clean! We couldn't do this without you!
