6th Annual Creek to Bay Cleanup Yields Tons of Trash!

On Saturday April 26th, thousands of San Diegans gathered at sixty-three cleanup sites throughout San Diego County to participate in I Love A Clean San Diego's 6th Annual Creek to Bay Cleanup. This year's event, sponsored by the County Board of Supervisors through the support of Supervisor Greg Cox and Supervisor Pam Slater-Price, brought together San Diegans from Imperial Beach to Oceanside, and Fallbrook to El Cajon. With 4,090 volunteers pre-registered for the event, coordinators expected to see record breaking statistics in 2008!

With 79% of Creek to Bay sites reporting their totals thus far, I Love A Clean San Diego speculates that the event boasted up to 4,000 volunteers. Based on the totals reported so far, these motivated volunteers collected an astonishing 160,000 pounds of debris from 130 miles of coastline and open space areas. Most commonly found items included lobster traps, tires, and beverage containers. Each site held contests for most unusual item. Some of the finalists included: a bowling ball, a pink boom box, and a dishwasher.
