We’ve done quite a bit over the past few years. Now, we must forewarn you, we do not have complete photos for all the past events. We are terribly sorry if you’re photo did not get taken. Sometimes we just get so excited about the event…we forget to take photos! And occasionally, we forget to even bring a camera! Each page has the photos under the date of the event. Have fun finding yourself or a friend!!!

Oceanside Beach Cleanups
As a coastal city, the City of Oceanside is very concerned about keeping its beaches clean for recreational and environmental purposes. In addition to regular beachcombing, which clears much of the trash and seaweed that accumulates on our beaches, the Community Cleanups Incorporated program hosts many beach cleanups throughout the year to pickup the debris our beachcomber cannot reach.

Loma Alta Creek Cleanups
Loma Alta Creek begins in Vista and runs alongside Oceanside Blvd before outletting to the ocean at Buccaneer Beach. The idea of having annual creek cleanups, within the City of Oceanside, originated with the very first Loma Alta Creek Cleanup. Because of its widespread success, we have spread the idea to all Oceanside watersheds as a tool for educating and promoting stewardship toward our environment.

Buena Vista Creek
Beginning in the City of Vista and flowing through the southern portion of the City of Oceanside to the Buena Vista Lagoon, Buena Vista Creek is the second largest watershed in Oceanside. Cleanups along Buena Vista Creek are relatively new, but have proven to be quite popular with local and regional residents.

San Luis Rey River
The San Luis Rey River is the largest watershed in Oceanside. With its dense natural vegetation, many parts of the river are inaccessible for volunteers looking to clean out the litter. But, Oceanside volunteers fear not as they braved the brush to help make San Luis Rey sparkle.

Calaveras Creek Cleanup
Located along Lake Blvd, Calaveras Creek is part of the Agua Hedionda Watershed. While only a sliver of the creek runs through Oceanside, it is enough is create a beautiful nature preserve and a picturesque setting for the Oak Riparian Park. Community Cleanups Incorporated and Friends of Calaveras Creek, among other groups, help to keep the creek litter-free for wildlife and residents.

Day at the Harbor
Over forty 5th grade classrooms from Oceanside Unified School District participated in an essay-writing contest with the Clean Water Program October of 2001. Six classrooms were selected as winners of the contest and received a jam-packed day off activities at the Oceanside Harbor. Between painting their favorite Clean Water Program mascot on a dumpster, learning about water quality through a science lab on wheels, and watching a demonstration of how urban runoff affects our waterbodies, these 5th Graders had a memorable day of fun and learning.
