Storm Drain Stenciling Day

The time has come – Join I Love A Clean San Diego and Think Blue San Diego for our twice-annual Storm Drain Stenciling Day! We will walk around the neighborhood and stencil storm drains with a conservation message.

What do you need for this event? Just a ready-to-help attitude!

  • We provide the stenciling kits and maps to help you find drains.
  • Our goal is to have 10 drains stenciled per group.
  • We encourage you to wear clothes you don’t mind getting paint on, and closed-toed shoes.
  • Be ready to walk or drive – drains are spread throughout neighborhoods and can be a 20-minute walk away from our starting location. Driving is always an option if you’d prefer!

This event requires a signed release-of-liability waiver for all volunteers, and anyone under 18 needs a waiver signed by a guardian.
