Coastal Cleanup Day Packing Party

Our 35th Annual Coastal Cleanup Day is on Saturday, September 21st from 9am-12pm! At last year’s event, 6,800 volunteers removed over 138,000 pounds of litter and debris from 106 sites throughout San Diego! This incredible impact was made possible by volunteers like you at the Packing Party last August, who assembled the supplies for each of those 106 sites in just four days.

In preparation for this year’s cleanup, we are looking for volunteers for our Packing Party to assist in assembling boxes of supplies to make this 35th Annual Coastal Cleanup Day a huge success. Volunteers will report to our office in Liberty Station at 2508 Historic Decatur Road, Suite 150, San Diego, CA 92106.

Tasks include counting and bundling supplies, packing boxes with specific quantities of items, double checking the packed boxes to ensure all of the supplies are there, and helping bring the packed boxes back to our office in the building. Some heavy lifting may be needed, but is not required. Volunteers will sit, stand, bend, and walk. Volunteers aged 14 and up are preferred, as attention to detail and counting are a crucial part of this assembly.

Whether you sign up for a full day or just a few hours, we would love your help! We will offer service forms for those in need, and this opportunity is available for court-ordered hours. If you or anyone you know is interested in helping, please sign up by emailing Carly Keen with the date(s) and time(s) you would like to volunteer at ckeen@cleansd.org or (619) 704-2774.

Trash Talk – Miramar Landfill Bus Tour

Waste Free

***This event has been filled.  Please check the ILACSD calendar for future landfill tours. ***

People have been burying garbage since humans evolved, but have you ever wondered where your waste goes once thrown into the bin? This three-hour bus tour will give you a peek behind-the-scenes to find out what really happens when you throw your trash away and what “away” really means.

Join I Love A Clean San Diego to better understand how your daily actions impact the Miramar Landfill and the City of San Diego’s goal to reach zero waste by 2040. You will not only learn about the importance of zero waste, but also given the tools on how to get there. Additional stops include the Allan Company Recycling Facility, the Greenery and the Household Hazardous Waste Transfer Facility.

There are only 55 seats available, so book your spot by August 8th to ensure your opportunity to gain valuable knowledge about the Landfill.  Seat priority will be given to City of San Diego residents.  If you are out of the City limits, you will be placed on a waitlist and informed a few days prior to the tour if seats are available. As a safety precaution, please wear pants and close-toed shoes. A signed waiver will be required at the start of the tour.  Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

The bus will pick attendees up in the parking lot at Metro Biosolids Center.  Parking is available in the lot.  Carpooling is encouraged.

This tour is made possible by the City of San Diego’s Environmental Services Department and facilitated by I Love A Clean San Diego.
