Hey Team Caltrans! Let’s help our golden state look its very best by participating in Clean California Community Days — Spring Into Action, a volunteer service event and celebration sponsored by the Governor's Office, Caltrans and our partners across California.
This statewide 11-day event kicks off Friday, March 17, with a big splash of activities occurring on Saturday, March 25. The goal is to work together to clean up our communities and spread the word about taking pride in keeping California clean.
Here’s a quick look at the various ways we can help tidy up California:
- Dump Day events. Dispose of waste materials for free, avoiding landfill fees and creating equitable access to disposal options. Some Dump Days also offer additional services like tire, mattress, e-waste, and appliance recycling.
- Community cleanups. Take pride in your community with a local volunteer cleanup event. Join one already scheduled or plan your own. It can be a large group of people beautifying a beach or even a single person picking up around their block. Learn how you can hold a cleanup in your community here.
- Festivals. Celebrate your community while learning about the impacts of litter and how to properly dispose of it. These family-friendly events feature music, food, informational booths, educational games, and other opportunities to unite communities.
- Tree plantings. Planting 1,000 trees statewide to provide shade, enhance beautification of public spaces and improve air quality. A focus will be placed on planting in underserved communities.
