Coastal Cleanup Day 2026: 24,758 Pounds of Trash Removed Across LA County

Coastal Cleanup Day 2026 was one for the books! Presented in partnership with Baywatch on FOX, Heal the Bay brought communities together at more than 60 cleanup sites across Los Angeles County. From the mountains, to our watersheds, all the way to the beach and even under the Santa Monica Pier – no matter where in Los Angeles you were, YOU showed up and cleaned up!

 

    • 5,827 volunteers
    • 24,758 pounds of trash removed
