Operation Clean Sweep

The San Diego Working Waterfront and the Port of San Diego invite the public to participate in the 33rd annual Operation Clean Sweep on Saturday, August 26, 2023, from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Following the event, an afterparty will be held for all volunteers at Cesar Chavez Park until noon. 



Volunteers are invited to participate by selecting from a variety of locations around San Diego Bay or choosing an area in their own community to clean. Picking up trash throughout the county helps keep the bay clean because every piece of trash that is not disposed of properly runs the risk of ending up in the bay. Participants are encouraged to invite friends and family members to join in and bring their own bags, gloves and sunscreen. 



Anyone interested in volunteering can learn more and register at sdworkingwaterfront.com/events/operation-clean-sweep. Participants will also be able to select a location, provide the number of volunteers in their group, and submit t-shirt requests.
