Join Alameda County Unincorporated Clean Water Volunteers for a cleanup at Castro Valley Creek Trail.

Be part of the annual Coastal Cleanup Day at the Castro Valley Creek Trail! Volunteers will participate in a litter pickup along the creek trail and beautify the trail starting from the Castro Valley Library to Castro Valley Creek Blvd.

Trash from inland areas, like Castro Valley Creek, flows downstream to the coast and into the ocean. Cleaning upstream riparian areas helps prevent garbage from entering the ocean, protecting birds and other marine animals, while beautifying the environment.

This effort is part of the statewide Coastal Cleanup Day and is made possible by the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District and the Alameda County Unincorporated Area Clean Water Program in coordination with Friends of San Lorenzo Creek.

To contribute to the statewide litter count, download the Clean Swell App before you arrive and have your trash be part of the California count!

Wear work clothes, sturdy shoes, & bring gloves if you have them. We’ll provide trash-pickup gear, tools, and gloves for loan.

*Volunteers age 10 & up; a parent or guardian must accompany those under age 14.
