25TH ANNUAL COASTAL CLEANUP DAY 2009
Saturday, September 19, 2009
9:00 A.M. – 12.00 P.M.

Last year, more than 70,000 volunteers worked together to collect more than 1,600,000 pounds of trash and recyclables from our beaches, lakes, and waterways. California Coastal Cleanup Day has been hailed by the Guinness Book of World Records as "the largest garbage collection" (1993). Since the program started in 1985, over 800,000 Californians have removed more than 13 million pounds of debris from our state's shorelines and coast.

In 2008 the City of Antioch had 267 volunteers clean up almost 6 tons of trash!
