The annual California Coastal Cleanup Day calls for volunteers to hit the beach and clear their favorite shorelines of debris. More than 700 organized cleanups were planned statewide on Saturday.
Thousands of volunteers in the Southland and across the state will be heading to the beach Saturday, not for a day of sun and swimming, but to pick up trash and clear the shoreline of debris as part of the annual California Coastal Cleanup Day.
Santa Monica-based environmental group Heal the Bay will oversee more than 50 individual cleanups. According to the group, last year's event saw nearly 4,600 volunteers fan out across Los Angeles County, removing nearly 11,300 pounds of trash and 313 pounds of recyclables from watersheds, neighborhoods and coastlines.
