California Coastal Cleanup Day is a statewide effort to clean trash and debris from California’s coast, bays, creeks, rivers, and lakes. The event is part of International Coastal Cleanup Day, when thousands of volunteers in all 50 states and 90 countries take part in the largest waterway and beach cleanup of the year.
In Napa County in 2011, 581 volunteers collected roughly 4 tons of trash and 3 tons of recyclables. Approximately 16 miles of waterways were cleaned. Click here for results from previous years.
