Volunteers are wanted for the annual California Coastal Cleanup on Saturday in communities up and down the coast, including Alameda.

In Alameda, the annual beach cleanup runs from 8:30 a.m. to noon. Check in at the corner of Shoreline and Westline drives. (This is a new check-in location.)

The City of Alameda offers this checklist for volunteers:

  • Bring your own trash collection bucket, work gloves and reusable water bottle
  • Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
  • Kids welcome (must be accompanied by an adult if under 18 years)
  • Pre-register by calling 1-888-EBPARKS or 1-888-327-2757
