About the Campaign:

This event is made possible by Governor Gavin Newsom’s Clean California initiative, a sweeping, $1.2 billion, multiyear cleanup effort led by Caltrans to remove trash, create thousands of jobs, and join with communities throughout the state to reclaim, transform and beautify public spaces.

Since launching Clean California in July 2021, Caltrans and its local partners have picked up more than 2.7 million cubic yards or litter — enough to cover nine lanes of Interstate 5 from San Diego to the Canadian border. Caltrans has hosted more than 500 free dump days in communities throughout the state — resulting in the collection of more than 12,000-plus mattresses and 50,000 tires. The initiative has drawn roughly 60,000 community clean-up volunteers and created more than 18,000 jobs, including positions for individuals who were formerly incarcerated, on probation, or experiencing housing insecurity.
