Alamitos Beach Cleanup ~ May 26th

Save to Favorites

The Alamitos Beach Cleanup is a fun way to support the local environment! It is held every fourth Sunday of the month from 10-11am at Alamitos Beach in Long Beach (on Beach Access Rd, off of Shoreline Drive and Ocean Blvd). Our next cleanup is Sunday, May 26th.

Our partnership with Adopt-A-Beach allows us to provide bags, gloves, and free parking "coupon codes" for our volunteers!

Individuals and groups of any size are welcome to join in! If you're bringing a large group, please give us a heads up with a rough head count so we can be sure to have enough supplies on hand. Otherwise, just come as you are and join in on the fun!

Here are some answers to Frequently Asked Questions:

FAQs


How do I sign Up?

No need to sign up in advance, just come down to the beach and sign in when you arrive.


What do I wear and/or bring?

You’ll be walking on the beach, and weather can vary from month to month, so layers are always a good option. Don't forget sunscreen and water!

We’ll provide gloves and bags for the clean up (through our partnership with Adopt-A-Beach) so you don’t need to bring any supplies. However, we would love to make this a zero-waste cleanup, so bringing reusable bags or buckets for trash, and your own gardening gloves is helpful in reducing our waste. Please feel free to bring your own trash grabber, since we don't offer them.


Can I bring my group?

Yes, please! If possible, please email Vanessa at alamitosbeachcleanup@gmail. com a week before the cleanup with a rough head count so we can be sure to have enough supplies on hand for your group.
