Mendocino County seeks volunteers to clean up coastline, creeks on Coastal Cleanup Day, Sept. 17

MENDOCINO Co, 9/4/22 — The annual Coastal Cleanup Day in Mendocino County returns mid-September, when volunteers will spend the morning cleaning beaches on the coast and creeks inland in a statewide effort to mitigate pollution on our coastlines. 

The Saturday event is part of Coastal Cleanup Day, a concept that originated in Oregon in the 1980s — in 1993, California’s Coastal Cleanup Day made it into the Guiness Book of World Records as the “largest garbage collection” ever organized, with 50,405 volunteers.
