On the morning of Saturday, September 17, every beach, lake and waterway in California hosts a beach cleanup for CA Coastal Cleanup Day to pick up the trash, cigarette butts, plastics and more. CCD was organized by Heal the Bay all over Los Angeles and Surfrider West LA/Malibu managed the Venice Beach Pier site. With an overwhelming 421 participants, we were able to pick up over 284 pounds of trash in just 3 hours.
Our small group of Surfrider volunteers handled the huge crowd and enjoyed the day of good cheers, volunteerism and a beautiful day on the beach. It’s nice to know, our local beaches are a bit cleaner after this day. Hopefully, the day will remind all of us to pick up our trash, reuse, reduce and stop using so much single-use plastic.
Check out the video from the groups who showed up to volunteer.
