Earth Day TrashBlitz Cleanup
Event Information
Description
Celebrate Earth Day with Heal the Bay at TrashBlitz L.A.!
Together, volunteers will collect trash to identify the top plastic pollution items in the L.A. River Watershed Area. This is more than cleanup—a scientific data collection strategy will be utilized to identify top brands and types of plastic. This event is part of a Los Angeles County cleanup effort at over 100 sites!
The results from TrashBlitz will be used to support local and statewide plastic waste reduction policies. Our ultimate goal is to prevent single-use plastics and disposables from entering the ocean by stopping these items at the source.
What is TrashBlitz?
TrashBlitz is a collaboration between nonprofit organizations in the Los Angeles region working on keeping our environment healthy and communities clean. By combining community science with spatial analysis, we will be able to estimate how much plastic is in our streets and rivers—and the most common brands and types. More information can be found at trashblitz.org.
