LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — California’s largest volunteer event, the Coastal Cleanup Day, takes place this weekend, offering everyone the chance to do their part to keep waterways clean and safe.

In Lake County, cleanup events focusing on Clear Lake and other waterways will take place from 9 a.m. to noon.
The event makes a big impact every year.
In 2022, 70 Lake County volunteers covered 30 miles during the cleanup event, collecting 2,735 pounds of trash and 150 pounds of recyclables, according to the Lake County Department of Water Resources.
This year, there will be seven cleanup sites:
