What is the Delta Waterway Cleanup?
You will be participating in the Delta’s part of California Coastal Cleanup Day! California’s largest annual volunteer event is sponsored by the California Coastal Commission and brings folks together at sites around the state to celebrate and share their appreciation of California’s fabulous coast and waterways. California’s event is likewise part of International Coastal Cleanup Day, sponsored by the Ocean Conservancy, which is the largest volunteer event on Earth! People from all walks of life gather to help free our waterways and coastlines from the trash and plastics that harm wildlife and fill our oceans. The date is ALWAYS the third Saturday in September.
Why are waterway cleanups important?
Trash travels down to the ocean via rivers, creeks, storm drains, and sewers. Debris that gets picked up from our waterways is debris that WON’T get swept out to sea where it harms our oceans and wildlife - not to mention Cleanup improves our beaches, parks and recreation sites.

Mission Statement
The Delta Protection Commission is committed to the protection and health of the Delta. We protect, maintain, enhance and enrich the overall quality of the Delta environment and economy. We do this with a focus on agriculture, recreation, and natural resources while remaining mindful of the importance of the Delta to all Californians.
Description
The Delta Protection Commission is comprised of a 15 member board representing the five Delta Counties and other State agencies. With a small team of dedicated staff, we work to protect land use in the Delta, promote and support recreation and heritage, share awareness about flood preparedness, and so much more! Every year we host the Delta Waterway Cleanup as part of California Coastal Cleanup Day with a cleanup site in each of the five Delta counties: Sacramento, Yolo, Solano, Contra Costa, and San Joaquin. Did you know the majority of trash on our beautiful California coastlines ends up there by way of inland waterways? This is why the Delta Waterway Cleanup is such an important part of Coastal Cleanup Day! Have you picked your cleanup site yet?
