Watershed Warriors: Alpine Community Cleanup

Join ILACSD as we team up with the County of San Diego for a litter cleanup in Alpine! Volunteers will meet in front of Alpine Elementary School to pick up trash from the surrounding area, diverting waste from the local watershed.

ILACSD will bring all the cleanup supplies and explain the impact of this cleanup on our watershed. We also provide community service hours and Letters of Appreciation for volunteers. This is a great opportunity for students and families to learn ways to protect our local environment!

We encourage volunteers to bring their own reusable items such as water bottles, work gloves, and buckets. This helps us work toward our vision of a zero waste, litter-free and environmentally engaged San Diego region!

All volunteers are required to fill out a waiver to participate. Anyone under the age of 18 needs a waiver signed by their parent or guardian.

See you there!
