Beach Cleanups

Through cleanup events such as Creek to Bay, Coastal Cleanup Day, Ocean Day Kids’ Adopt-A-Beach Clean Up, as well as others, 12,942 volunteers contributed 39,326 hours to remove an estimated 334,385 pounds of trash and recyclables from our coastlines and inland areas.

Adopt-A-Beach

This program brought 4,088 volunteers out to their respective local beaches contributing over 8,000 hours of service cleaning up San Diego’s coastline.

Storm Drain Stenciling

This program assisted 396 volunteers to stencil 527 storm drains throughout San Diego County with a message that proper waste disposal is essential to avoid river and ocean pollution.

Recycling Hotline

ILACSD’s Recycling Hotline received 8,980 requests from 14,254 callers searching for recycling and disposal centers for items such as household hazardous wastes, electronics, motor oil, and more. The information provided by our representatives offered solutions to illegal dumping and encouraged residents to recycle or safely dispose of their waste.

Education

New Partnerships

ILACSD was named the beneficiary of a “Come Clean San Diego” media campaign to create awareness of environmental issues in San Diego with KGTV 10, Sempra Energy, and KPRI Radio. Also, ILACSD partnered with the California Department of Conservation and 24 Hour Fitness to implement bottle and can recycling in all 24 Hour Fitness Clubs in San Diego County and Orange County!

ILACSD was awarded a Hewlett Packard Technology for Community Grant, through which our office received $17,000 worth of computer and printer equipment.
