“Keep Del Mar Green” Community Cleanup
Saturday, September 19, 2026, 9:30 am to 11:00 am
Join Us for a Community Cleanup in Del Mar!
The Del Mar Village Association (DMVA) invites you to take part in our “Keep Del Mar Green” Community Cleanup event! Together, we’ll protect our beautiful coastline, support sustainability, and make a lasting impact on our environment.
We'll meet at the 17th Street Del Mar Lifeguard Station before spreading out across the beach, parks, and nearby streets to collect litter that would otherwise pollute our precious waterways. To make your efforts even more rewarding, the Del Mar Lifeguards will work with us to treat our volunteers to a delicious breakfast of eggs and pancakes.
During the cleanup, we’ll use baskets from the Del Mar ShoreSaver Program—a pioneering environmental initiative led by DMVA in partnership with the City of Del Mar, EDCO, and Relic Coastal Collaborative—designed to keep our beaches pristine while promoting ecological health.
We can’t wait to see you there—let’s keep Del Mar green and show some extra love to our Village beaches!

In addition to DMVA’s “Keep Del Mar Green” community cleanup events, DMVA launched the Del Mar ShoreSaver Program on April 17, 2024. The Del Mar ShoreSaver program is dedicated to preserving Del Mar's beaches' natural beauty and ecological integrity. Through innovative solutions, community engagement, and proactive stewardship, DMVA, in partnership with the City of Del Mar, EDCO, and Relic’s Coastal Collaborative, aims to help reduce beach pollution, foster environmental awareness, and cultivate a sustainable future for our coastline, ensuring it remains a cherished resource for future generations.
