On Friday, July 11, SAMCAR's Young Professionals Network, SAMCAR YPN, brought together a group of 25 volunteers to join the Pacific Beach Coalition to pick-up litter at Rockaway Beach in Pacifica, including the nearby streets, parking lots, and switchbacks. Volunteers collected a combined total of 41 pounds of trash, 513 cigarette filters, and 2 pounds of recyclables. They also discovered interesting items like a large 12V rechargeable battery, an umbrella, fake leaves, rebar, fireworks, fishing line, and a Mickey Mouse toy. Each item collected helped make our coast and ocean safer for everyone, including wildlife. The activity was supported by a donation from SAMCAR's Community Engagement Fund.
