Trash-or-Treat Community Cleanup with Think Blue San Diego

Join I Love A Clean San Diego and Think Blue San Diego for a VIRTUAL litter cleanup across the City of San Diego!

To stay safe and promote social-distancing, we are focusing this community cleanup inward towards our own neighborhoods! Have you noticed any areas near your home that need a pick-me-up? Please join us to protect the environment as well as ourselves, and “walk-your-block” Saturday morning.

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. After your cleanup you can log your totals in our Volunteer Impact Map and request a Letter of Appreciation for your service.

To celebrate Halloween, join us in a zero-waste costume contest on our social media! Post a photo of your cleanup in your repurposed, recycled, or rescued Halloween costume and tag us on social media to win a spooky prize!
