HELP US CONSERVE—BYO this year!
Limit waste by bringing your own reusable supplies (bags, bucket, gloves, water bottle). We will also have supplies available.
Last year over 50% of the debris collected was diverted from the landfill. Recology, our event partner, further supports our conservation goals by making sure that everything you collect is separated and as much as possible is diverted from the landfill. Not only are the standard materials recycled—i.e. cans, bottles, hard plastic, etc.—but also scrap wood, metal, sheet rock, cement, sand and brick. Thank You Recology!
The Golden Gate National Parks Volunteer Program is a cooperative parkwide effort of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, the National Park Service, and the Presidio Trust.
