Do-It-Yourself Cleanup: Any Time, Any Day

Clean up your neighborhood, parks, and local area any time. Trash from inland areas flows downstream to the coast, so cleaning up neighborhood trash prevents marine debris.

  • Gather cleanup supplies from home.
    • Gather grocery bags or buckets for trash.
    • Use kitchen tongs as pickers.
    • Use milk jugs to collect small pieces of trash.
  • Download the Clean Swell app to count your trash and to have your trash counted! Report your cleanup by recording data on the Clean Swell app any time and have it counted towards statewide goals. Learn why data collection is important.
  • Clean on your own time.

All cleanups that take place during September will count towards statewide goals!

Schoolyard Cleanups

Educators and students can participate in Coastal Cleanup Day without a field trip. Schoolyard cleanups can be organized to help students become environmental stewards at their own school and in their own neighborhood! Learn more.
