The City of Goleta is pleased to report that a record number of volunteers participated in the first Earth Day edition of Beautify Goleta on Saturday, April 22. Between the three cleanup locations (Stow Grove Park, Lake Los Carneros and Ellwood Bluffs) and the self-guided participants, 115 volunteers picked up 330 pounds of trash!

The Beautify Goleta event also included a bulky item drop off that had great participation. There were forty-one drop-offs, filling two large roll-off containers and collecting over 80 cubic yards of bulky items.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered and made this a successful event. Check out our photo album here of the Beautify Goleta Earth Day edition. We also want to thank our partners at MarBorg Industries, Big Green Cleaning, and the Caltrans Clean California program for their ongoing support.
