Coastal Cleanup in SF and Oakland – it’s BYO on Saturday, September 17, 9am-noon

ByGGBA

Join us to clean the coast at either M.L.K. Jr. Shoreline Park in Oakland or Pier 94 in San Francisco.

The theme this year is “Bring Your Own”  Here’s how you can help:

  • Bring a bucket or reusable bag to the Cleanup for collecting trash (sites will have dumpsters or roll-away bins so you can dump what you collect and bring your bucket or reusable bag back home).
  • Bring a lightweight pair of gardening gloves from home, instead of using the disposable plastic gloves provided at the Cleanup.
  • Bring a filled, reusable water bottle to the Cleanup.
  • Use public transportation, bike, or carpool to your Cleanup.
  • If you’re bringing a lunch, plan ahead to make it a “trash-free” meal.

Directions to MLK Jr Shoreline Park:  On Oakport, meet at the Peppermint Gate.

Directions to Pier 94 in SF: Take Third St to Cargo Way, take the first left onto Amador, follow it around a curve to the right.  Look for a chain link fence and turn left into the lot, pull up to the white barriers.…
