Families, groups, individuals, organizations and others are sought for Mission Viejo’s 13th Inner Coastal Clean Up Day from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, September 20.
The event begins with registration at the Oso Creek Trailhead on Marguerite Parkway (located just south of Marguerite and Estanciero on the east side of Marguerite). Volunteers will help collect trash and debris in and around Oso Creek and the nearby commercial center.
Held annually in conjunction with Coastal Clean Up Day, this event is one of California’s biggest volunteer efforts. Throughout the state along beaches, creeks and streams, more than 80,000 volunteers help to prevent litter and debris from entering our waterways.
At the end of the day, a tally of the trash collected will be included in the county’s roll up to the state. Last year in Mission Viejo, 200 volunteers – families, individuals, community churches, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Lion’s Heart and others – collected about 400 pounds of trash.
Information about volunteering is available by contacting Deborah Carson at dcarson@cityofmissionviejo.orgor 949-470-8458. For more information about Mission Viejo’s vast “green” programs, visithttp://www.cityofmissionviejo.org/green.
