Check out these great videos created by local activists intended to inspire people to take simple steps to make the world a better place. Click Here to see Pick Up 3 which was created by Del Mar grom Cobi Emery. Click Here to see Pick It up. The Surfrider Foundation San Diego County Chapter and San Diego Coastkeeper coordinate cleanups two times a month. On the second Saturday, we cleanup a North County beach (Oceanside to Torrey Pines), and on the fourth Saturday of every month we cleanup a beach in South County (La Jolla to Imperial Beach). To help out at an already coordinated cleanup, all you have to do is show up. For all beach cleanups, please wear comfortable clothes, closed toed shoes and sunscreen. Bring gardening or work gloves if you have them. If not, we would be happy to provide you with latex gloves if needed. We also provide the bags, hand sanitizer and other essentials for cleaning up trash. (Feel free to bring you own reusable bag, used bag or bucket to help limit what ends up at the garbage dump.) All volunteers are welcome to participate and must sign a liability waiver, but volunteers under 18 MUST have a parent or guardian, present at the beginning of the cleanup, sign the waiver before the minor can participate. Waiver Form Pre-registration is NOT required unless your group has more than 20 people. Weather--if it is lightly raining, we will have the cleanup. If there are heavy rains, the cleanup will be canceled. Unless otherwise noted, all cleanups start at 9am and last about 2 hours, depending on how many people show up.
