LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The 38th annual California Coastal Cleanup Day will take place Saturday, Sept. 17, and Lake County will once again be taking part.

The cleanup will be held from 9 a.m. to noon that day.

The check-in locations in Lake County will be:

• Lucerne Harbor Park;
• Rodan Slough Park, Nice;
• Library Park, Lakeport;
• Highland Springs Recreation Area, Lakeport;
• Konocti CrossFit, Kelseyville; and
• Austin Park Beach, Clearlake.

Sign up here.

While COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted in many locations around the state, the health and safety of our volunteers remains a top priority.

Please do not attend the cleanup if you have recently tested positive for COVID-19 or are experiencing any symptoms of COVID.

For those who are busy that day, they can still participate in the Coastal Cleanup by cleaning up neighborhoods, parks and local areas anytime during the month of September.

Trash from inland areas flows downstream to the coast, so cleaning up neighborhood trash prevents marine debris.

Gather cleanup supplies from home, download the CleanSwell app (to count your trash, and to have your trash counted!), and clean on your own time.

All cleanups that take place during September will count toward the event’s statewide goals.
