Registration is still open for this Saturday at site #48!

The City of Santa Clara will host a cleanup site this Saturday, May 16 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. Register for site #48 and help be the solution to water pollution in Santa Clara! To learn more and participate in a cleanup, visit the Creek Connections Action Group.

Pollution prevention starts at our front doors. Trash can travel through storm drains, creeks, and rivers to become bay pollution that is harmful to wildlife. Your participation helps keep our waterways free from trash.

For questions, contact Environmental Programs staff at Environment@SantaClaraCA.gov or call 408-615-3080.
