Saturday, September 25, 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Join MCL on Saturday, September 25, 2010, from 9 a.m. to noon for the 26th Annual California Coastal Cleanup. In 2009, 1,861 volunteers in Marin collected 10,146 pounds of trash over an approximate distance of 90 miles! Be part of this year’s solution to marine pollution!

Registration is not required, but does help with planning - you may register here.

MCL will host three locations for the annual cleanup:

Novato: Volunteers will begin at the Scottsdale Pond Gazebo at 9:00 a.m. (The Gazebo is south of Rowland Blvd. on Redwood Blvd.) People with small children will clean around the Pond and marshes. More adventuresome types will be dispersed to Novato Creek, Warner Creek or Ignacio Creek. There will be creek captains to work with the creek cleaners. Creek cleaners should wear boots or shoes that can get wet. For more information call Susan Stompe at 897-1610.

San Rafael: Volunteers will meet at the MCL Office, 1623A Fifth Ave. (at F) at 9:00 a.m. and head to Mahon Creek. For more information, contact the MCL office at 415-485-6257 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Sausalito: The Southern Marin site will be at the Sausalito Waterfront, meeting at the Bay Model Visitor's Center at 9:00 a.m. Contact Vicki Nichols with questions, 331-5071.

All volunteers should bring gloves, water and sunscreen, and wear their work clothes and sturdy shoes. While we will provide plastic bags and disposable gloves for volunteers we encourage you to bring your own bucket and gloves from home. This way we will reduce waste generated by the clean up effort.

Bring your family and friends! After the cleanup, participants are invited to a free BBQ from 12noon to 2pm at the Bay Model Visitors Center.

THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO MEET THREE HOURS OF YOUR COMMUNITY SERVICE REQUIREMENT!  TIMESHEETS WILL BE COMPLETED FOR THOSE WHO NEED THEM.
