Watershed Warriors: Alpine Community Cleanup

Join I Love A Clean San Diego and the County of San Diego for a VIRTUAL litter cleanup in Alpine! We will collect trash from around the Alpine community to divert litter from the San Diego watershed!

It is so important to stay safe and avoid group-gatherings right now, so we are turning the focus of community cleanups away from public places and towards our own neighborhoods! Have you noticed any areas near your home that need a pick-me-up? Please join us in protecting the environment as well as ourselves, and “walk-your-block” Saturday morning.

Get your family 6-ft apart together for a cleanup down the street! Invite your neighbors and practice social distancing. Bring a bucket or bag from home, grab some kitchen or gardening gloves, and don’t forget your face-covering. You can make this cleanup truly zero-waste by using your own reusable supplies!

We will broadcast the kick-off online including safety talk, recycling tips, and more at 9AM, then you can spend a few hours beautifying your neighborhood! We’ll make it a breeze to sort what you collect and dispose of it in your correct residential bins. After your cleanup you can log back in to your profile and upload your totals to receive community service hour verification.
