Countywide Community Cleanups
I Love A Clean San Diego is the go-to resource for beach and inland cleanups across San Diego County. Our volunteers pickup an average of 1 million pounds of trash and debris every two years! These cleanups are a great way to take action in your community, as well as get community service hours while helping your local environment. You can also get event details on our Calendar of Events!
