Month, the largest statewide event in California, there are two ways to participate, California Coastal Cleanup Day or self-guided neighborhood cleanups.

The beach cleanup day helps to remove trash and plastic pollution at beaches and waterways throughout the state.

The next year the self-guided neighborhood cleanup campaign had more than 14,000 California residents participate to clean up over 150,000 pounds of trash.

For the neighborhood cleanup, participants can download the
app Clean Swell to record how much trash they collected.
