Saturday, September 16th marks the 33rd annual Coastal Cleanup Day. Hosted each year by Heal the Bay, Coastal Cleanup Day<\/a> marks the largest, single-day volunteer event on the planet! This year, Heal the Bay is looking for more than 10,000 local Southern California residents to help pick up trash and debris from more than 50 coastal and inland sites.<\/p>\n

Last year, more than 500,000 Coastal Cleanup Day volunteers removed more than 18.3 MILLION<\/strong> pounds of trash from beaches, waterways, parks and streams worldwide.<\/p>\n

Torrance residents wishing to volunteer have many potential cleanup sites to choose from, including the City’s own Torrance Beach (aka RAT Beach). The meetup for the Torrance Beach cleanup will be at the Miramar Park\/Tower Play Area, 201 Paseo De La Playa, Torrance, 90277.<\/p>\n
