Join us for the annual 5th of July Beach Clean-Up in Crescent City!
Let's come together to keep our beautiful beaches clean and pristine. Meet us at 110 Anchor Way on the 5th of July and make a difference in our community. Meeting Point: Parking lot next to Schmidt's House of Jambalaya-9:30am for coffee and Safety Talk.
The event will target three main beach areas: South Beach, Crescent Beach, and Pebble Beach. As Crescent City and Del Norte County prepare to welcome between 5,000 to 15,000 visitors for Independence Day celebrations, the threat of pollution looms large. Last year, volunteers at the clean-up collected a staggering 3,290 pounds of trash and toxic firework debris.
In collaboration with key partners including California State Parks, the National Park Service, Smith River Alliance, CalTrans, and the Del Norte Solid Waste Authority, RPC is mobilizing volunteers to tackle the litter with a focus on a 2-mile stretch along Crescent City’s South Beach. This collective effort is essential in mitigating the harmful effects of pollution on the ocean and the marine life that calls it home.
"By joining forces on July 5th, we reaffirm our commitment to the well-being of our coastal environment," added RPC Executive Director, Sal Munoz Moreno. "Every volunteer who joins us on July 5th is making a tangible difference in protecting our coastal ecosystem and preserving the natural beauty of Crescent City."
All necessary cleanup supplies will be provided, including trash bags, pickers, dumpsters, and sharps containers. Additionally, snacks and refreshments will be available to keep volunteers energized throughout the event.
For safety reasons, volunteers are advised to wear closed-toe shoes and pants. Those unable to attend the clean-up event in person can still contribute by making a donation to RPC. Donations will support the purchase of essential supplies and personnel needed to make the clean-up a success.
Join RPC on July 5th and make a difference in preserving the beauty of Crescent City's beaches!
