RSVP to “Team Up To Clean Up” as a Community Group during the weekdays September 15th-18th, 2026

Choose a roadside route around Point Reyes Station, Olema, Inverness Park, Inverness, Marshall, Bolinas, San Geronimo Valley, or another West Marin hotspot to clean up the watershed before the first rains.

Registration will confirm your cleanup route, group size, participation dates, reserving supplies (bags, buckets, gloves, vests, or grabbers).

The routes are listed in the registration form. You and your team members will be asked to sign a liability waiver.

Things to know:

• Dates are from Tuesday, September 15th to Saturday, September 18th.

• Volunteers can borrow all necessary supplies, including safety vests, reusable bags, buckets, grabbers, and gloves.

• Coordinate supplies pick-up and return with our office. Best to pick up and return on the same day as your clean-up.

• Community groups traditionally sign up for one of the weekdays, but if Saturday is better for your group, you can sign up for Cleanup Day, and vice versa; individuals can sign up during the week too.

• Trash can be deposited for this event in Recology’s bins at the Whitehouse Pool parking lot (map) starting September 15th until 12:00 noon on September 19th (Coastal Cleanup Day).

• If you deposit trash somewhere else, please estimate the weight and volume, take photos, and email this information to us.

RSVP to volunteer as an individual with EAC’s team
on Saturday, September 19th from 9 am to 12 pm.

Coastal Cleanup Day is an international event dedicated to trash clean-ups worldwide. Here in California, the event is led by the California Coastal Commission, which coordinates cleanups at sites all around the state.

Culminating our week-long "Litter Bugs Me" initiative, EAC hosts volunteers on the official Coastal Cleanup Day, Saturday, September 19th. This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals (friends and family invited, too!) to join together and make a meaningful impact on the wildlife and habitats within our watershed. Community

On Coastal Cleanup Day, we’ll clean up roadsides and beach locations that have not been cleaned by Teams earlier in the week.

Things to know:

• Meet at the EAC office by 9:00 am to sign in, sign a waiver, find your group/cleanup site, and pick up your supplies.

• Bring your supplies and collected trash and recycling to the Whitehouse Pool parking lot (map) for weighing and tallying by 12:00 noon on Saturday the 19th.
