October Nothin’ But Sand Beach Clean Up
October 18, 10 AM – 12 PM @ Venice Beach Pier, Southside
Something TERRIFYING is lurking in Santa Monica Bay… and this sea monster is wreaking havoc on our coastal ecosystem! Help us defeat spine-chilling plastic pollution at a special Halloween Nothin’ But Sand Beach Clean Up at Venice Beach Pier, Southside. After the cleanup, stick around for our eco-friendly Costume Contest!
📍 Location: Venice Beach Pier, Southside
📅 Date: Saturday, October 18
⏰ Time: 10 AM – 12 PM
Sustainable fashion blogger Lexy Silverstein will be joining us to share tips and tricks for warding off fast fashion and making your Halloween waste-free.
Don’t let single-use plastic and wasteful costumes haunt you! Show up in your best sustainable Halloween costume:
- Reuse past costumes
- Borrow spooky accessories from friends.
- Get creative with plastic-free materials at home (a classic bed sheet ghost costume never goes out of style!)
We provide the supplies, all you need to do is register, sign a waiver*, and show up! Please note: Heal the Bay guarantees cleanup supplies for the first 300 people who are registered.
Each volunteer registers individually.
CLEANING UP WITH A GROUP OF 15+? HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW! 🌿
Are you participating as part of a company, school, nonprofit, or other organization? We’d love to have your group join us!
Please follow these steps:
1️ Register Your Group: Have your Group Coordinator email adopt@healthebay.org (ATTN: NBS Group Registration) with your group name, a brief description, coordinator contact information, and expected group size.
2️ Wait for Confirmation: Once registered, your group will appear as an option on our RSVP page.
3️ Have Your Members RSVP: Each individual in your group must register for an “Individual in Group” ticket and complete the waiver process.
4️ Check-In Together: On event day, please gather your group before heading to the Group Registration line to check in. If someone arrives late, they can still check in, attend the required safety talks, and catch up with the group after picking up supplies.
EVENT Sold out? You can still attend! Just bring your own gloves and receptacle, and our environmental experts will help you navigate the site and understand the impact of your work.
We will host another Nothin’ But Sand cleanup next month. Please stay tuned for more details.
