Why Volunteer?

Pollution prevention starts at our front doors. Trash can travel through storm drains, creeks, and rivers to become bay pollution. By picking up litter, you are taking an active role in improving the environment and our local communities.

Individuals, clubs, classes, organizations, and businesses are welcome and encouraged to participate. Cleanup days are a fun way to get outside and also a great way to fulfill community service hours, if required.
