Yet another trashy treasure trove! The Guadalupe River runs right along the edge of the San Jose Airport carrying tons of garbage as it winds its way to the Bay. We need your help to clean up this trash hot spot, so join us and bring your friends as we clean up this section of the river. And this year it’s BYOB at Coastal Cleanup Day. We are making this a zero-waste event, so you’ll need to bring your own bucket, gloves and tools. We are handing out prizes for the most unusual trash item and the best dressed bucket so be sure to stick around after the clean up!
