Invite your neighbors and practice social distancing. Bring a bucket or bag from home, grab some kitchen or gardening gloves, and don’t forget your face-covering. You can make this cleanup truly zero-waste by using your own reusable supplies!

Join us for a virtual kick-off intro video, then spend a few hours beautifying your neighborhood! We’ll make it a breeze to sort and dispose litter in your residential bins.

Join I Love A Clean San Diego in partnership with the County of San Diego for this free, interactive demonstration and info session.  Please register to receive the link to attend, as well as a list of recommended supplies to bring and information you will need to build along at home!

One Room At A Time: A Zero Waste Family Interview with Kim Castillo

One Room At A Time: A Zero Waste Family Interview with Kim Castillo

Did you know that between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, Americans throw away 25% more trash than during the rest of the year??  While recycling is an amazing practice for individuals and families to use to reduce the amount of waste they are sending to the landfill, it is not the only solution.  Considering the significant amount of waste that we are producing and the valuable resources that went into making it, why not take a closer look this holiday season at what we can do to reduce the amount of waste we are producing to begin with?

Join I Love A Clean San Diego in partnership with the County of San Diego for this free info session on how families can begin to minimize their waste production, even around the holidays!  We will be featuring guest-speaker Kim Castillo, who is a mother of two and a local eco-company business owner- all while helping to run her family’s farm.

Kim will share her experience and insight in transitioning to a minimal waste lifestyle in a manageable and inclusive way for her whole family.  She will also let us in on some of her favorite zero-waste gift ideas and hosting tips for the holidays!
