May Gray: Trash Picked Up By One Person In May 2022

The amount of trash cleaned up off Mission Beach for May is deceivingly lower than last month, but for a good reason. The month of May brought more planned beach cleanups by other organizations with a mission to help keep Mission Beach beautiful. We are so grateful; however, their pickup numbers are not reflected in ours, meaning May's numbers would most likely have been higher than April's. Regardless, we are incredibly thankful for their help! Seed4Greatness invited DTMB to

Bonfires: A Hot Topic

Cathy Ives weighs in on the topic of banning beach bonfires not in City fire rings. This, like so many things are ruined by those who cannot seem to follow the rules and care for their fellow human beings. Beach fires more often lead to trash and debris left behind along with burning embers in the ground. Too often we find broken bottles, left over food, trash and other food waste along with burning embers directly on the sand posing an environmental and a public health haza

April 2022 Trash Picked Up By One Person

It's an unfortunate trend to see our monthly trash pick-up numbers stay consistent. Approximately 17, 843 pieces of trash were picked up off of Mission Beach by just one of our volunteers for the month of April. This number doesn't include our April Beach Cleanup that brought in over 500 lbs of trash by 80 plus volunteers, or the trash picked up daily by our neighborhood residents. Our year-to-date total stands at nearly 60,000 pieces of trash. Why? It's simple, too many peop

Thank you Telemundo for covering our story!

A big thanks to volunteer Jessica Gressard for stepping in and being a spokesperson for www.donttrashmissionbeach.com to talk to Mar González of Telemundo about the increase in personal protection trash on the beach as a result of the pandemic.
