Keep Del Mar Green

A Community Cleanup Event

 

Save the date for our next cleanup!

Saturday, April 19, 2025

10:00 to 11:30 AM

Join Us for a Special Earth Week Community Clean-Up in Del Mar!

In celebration of Earth Week, the Del Mar Village Association (DMVA) invites you to take part in our “Keep Del Mar Green” community clean-up 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 treat our volunteers to a delicious pancake breakfast, with ingredients generously donated by Poseidon and Better Buzz.

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. Learn more about the ShoreSaver Program [here].

This is a fantastic opportunity to give back to our community while working alongside local businesses and organizations that are committed to keeping Del Mar clean.

After the cleanup, reward yourself with a well-earned brunch at one of Del Mar Village’s incredible restaurants!

We can’t wait to see you there—let’s keep Del Mar green!

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.
