Fremont residents are invited to roll up their sleeves and join Coastal Cleanup Day 2025 on Saturday, Sept. 20. From 9am to noon, volunteers will spread out across sites citywide to clear litter and debris from local creeks, parks and waterways, helping protect both the community and the coast.
This year’s cleanup includes multiple volunteer opportunities, with sites at Central Park, Crandall Creek, Tule Ponds, Hastings Street, Delaware Drive, Almond Avenue and more. Each site has a set capacity, and registration opened Wednesday, Aug. 20 at 6am. Spots are expected to fill quickly.
A highlight of this year’s event is the statewide “Trashure Hunt.” Special items will be hidden at cleanup sites, and lucky volunteers who find them can redeem prizes. Fremont will host at least one of these hidden treasures, giving participants extra incentive to keep their eyes open while cleaning.
In addition to standard volunteer shifts, the City is recruiting Sorting Stewards—trained helpers who will learn the City’s new sorting system and assist in separating trash, recyclables and compostables. Stewards must be at least 13 years old and will receive hands-on training before the event.
For those unable to join on Sept. 20, do-it-yourself cleanups can be completed any time in September. Residents are encouraged to collect neighborhood litter, record data using the Clean Swell app, and have their efforts count toward statewide goals.
