ECO: Cupid's Cleanup

Save to Favorites

This Valentine's Day, join I Love A Clean San Diego and Think Blue San Diego for a litter cleanup! Volunteers will show the San Diego River Watershed some love by picking up litter and preventing it from travelling to the Pacific Ocean.

Volunteers will meet staff at a check-in-table, join ILACSD for a talk about watersheds and trash disposal, then grab supplies needed to pick up litter. Volunteers will then collect litter and take it back to ILACSD staff to sort through and dispose of properly. After the cleanup, volunteers can request community service hours.

During the event, ILACSD will also be giving out native seed paper Valentine's cards! Volunteers can decorate and sign the cards with provided supplies to create a heartfelt message for loved ones while supporting the environment. Plant your native seed paper cards to grow beautiful flowers that help support local wildlife!
