September is Coastal Cleanup Month. Join in!

This year, Coastal Cleanup is all month long and starts right at your door. Because no matter where litter happens, it all flows downstream to the coast and becomes ocean pollution when the rain comes.

So choose a day (or several!) in September and go out by yourself, with your family or a small group of friends and protect your happy place by picking up litter close to home! Local parks, shores, creeks, streets, sidewalks, drainage areas, natural areas, and trails are all good choices.
