The San Diego Clean Beach Coalition is at it again, working hard to prepare our local beaches for the swarms of visitors expected this summer. Beginning Memorial Day weekend and going through the September Labor Day holiday, popular San Diego beaches will receive millions of visitors. Help the Clean Beach Coalition to keep our beaches free from trash this year and protect the lifestyle that all San Diego residents know and love.

Collaboration between FreePB.org, I Love A Clean San Diego, San Diego Coastkeeper, the San Diego Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, and the City of San Diego - Parks and Recreation Department will help to ensure that adequate trash and recycle bins are provided for the big holiday weekends. If you frequent Pacific Beach, Mission Beach, Mission Bay or Ocean Beach on holiday weekends, you may remember seeing the temporary trash and recycle bins placed on the sand. These bins help to prevent marine debris and increase the safety of beachgoers who are less likely to be injured by stepping on litter.

The Clean Beach Coalition needs your help to sustain our efforts. We are currently looking for sponsors to help underwrite the cost of these bins, planned for 4th of July and Labor Day weekends. These bins are expensive…at close to $100 each, so please consider assisting to fund our efforts. As a bin sponsor, your company logo will be placed on each bin, providing a unique advertising opportunity.  Contact us to learn more!

The San Diego Clean Beach Coalition is working hard to provide San Diegans with comprehensive pollution prevention solutions for the 2009 4th of July holiday weekend. With this years holiday falling on a Saturday, it’s important that all beach visitors take extra steps to protect the quality of our beaches throughout the holiday weekend…and all summer-long. This year’s plans include purchasing and placing extra trash bins in the Pacific Beach, Mission Beach, Mission Bay, and Ocean Beach areas. The Coalition will also be providing recycling receptacles giving beach visitors the opportunity to recycle, something currently not available on most San Diego beaches.

If you have a suggestion of other ways that the San Diego Clean Beach Coalition can assist in protecting local shorelines this summer, please contact any of the organizations listed below. Please check back soon for more details as planning continues.

The San Diego Clean Beach Coalition is made up of local non-profits committed to preserving local shorelines. Coalition members include FreePB.org, I Love A Clean San Diego, San Diego Coastkeeper, and the San Diego Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation.
