The Surfrider Foundation San Diego County Chapter and San Diego Coastkeeper coordinate cleanups three times a month.
On the second Saturday, we cleanup a North County beach (Oceanside to Torrey Pines), on the third Saturday we host a cleanup at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas and on the fourth Saturday of every month we cleanup a beach in South County (La Jolla to Imperial Beach).
PLASTIC BAGS PHASED OUT AT BEACH CLEANUPS. In an effort to send less extra stuff to the landfill we are asking that beach cleanup volunteers bring their own reusable bucket,
reusable bag or a bag(s) from home that you would throw out anyway. Also, please bring work or garden gloves to use rather then then
latex/disposable ones if possible. We will continue to have gloves and a small supply of bags on hand until we can fully get
the word out and look to provide reusable supplies in the future.
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
sign the waiver before the minor can participate. (Please note the NEW waiver as of August 2009)

Pre-registration is NOT required unless your group has more than 25 people. If you expect a large group, please Contact Us and let us know which cleanup you would like to help with and how many people.
Weather--if it is lightly raining, we will have the cleanup.
If there are heavy rains, the cleanup will be canceled.
