San Diego Clean Sweep River Clean Up

Leading This Clean Up:

The San Diego River Park Foundation

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Clean Sweep on Saturday, October 27th from 9am to Noon!

This special river cleanup, will be an opportunity for volunteers of all ages to help achieve a trash-free River from Qualcomm Way to the ocean! Volunteers will beautify an urban wildlife preserve and care for native habitat. This will be a fun and rewarding event for all participants… and we look forward to seeing you there!

Here are a few tips about what to bring to help you be prepared for the event:

Please arrive by 8:45 am to get checked in on time.

Be sure to dress in clothes that can get dirty and/or paint-y. Long pants are recommended. A hat, sunscreen, or any other types of sun protection are also recommended. Closed-toe shoes are required. No sandals, Tom's or other flats. You must wear sturdy tennis or hiking shoes.

In order to reduce single-use plastics, we encourage you to bring your own reusable water bottle with water to drink.

Light rain will not cancel this event.

We will provide all tools and supplies for you to use.

*Community Service hours can be verified for those who need them.

For safety reasons, no pets are allowed at this event.

Location: The NEAREST address for the meeting location is 2508 Hotel Circle Place. Please note that this is an approximate address. This address is referencing the Presidio Little League Sefton Baseball Fields which are directly east of the event meeting location. The meeting location is located at Cottonwood Grove in Mission Valley Preserve.

To get there, enter through Sefton Baseball Fields, drive down the dirt road on the right hand side of the fields and follow the road to the west end. Park along the fence at the west end of the ball fields. Please be vigilant of bicyclists that may be using the nearby bike path. Once parked, walk west along the bike path a short distance into the preserve; we’ll be set up just inside.
