Additional Details
Operation Clean Sweep is expecting upwards of 1,100 volunteers. Each volunteer receives a free t-shirt, and the San Diego Working Waterfront is providing a volunteer after party on Shelter Island at Shelter Island Shoreline Park, 2232 Shelter Island Drive. The t-shirt doubles as a ticket for a free meal from Leilani’s food truck. Festivities also include kids' soccer activities with San Diego FC, entertainment by DJ Justin Kanoya, raffles, a Port of San Diego Harbor Police Department command van display, booths, prizes for the most unusual trash found, and more.
 
Anyone interested in volunteering can learn more and register at sdworkingwaterfront.com/events/operation-clean-sweep. Participants are encouraged to sign up early, as the waiver is also the ticket to get a free t-shirt and cleaning supplies such as gloves and bags. For groups, visit the website for instructions. Volunteers will also be asked to provide the number of volunteers in their group, as well as submit t-shirt size requests.
