Twice a year thousands of Oregonians comb the 354 miles of Oregon's coastline during SOLV's Beach Cleanups. The fall cleanup takes place tomorrow, Saturday, September 20th and is part of the International Coastal Cleanup Day. If you haven't participated in these cleanups before they are a fantastic way to discover what kinds of things end up on our beaches. Common items include car parts, plastic bottles, and of course thousands of cigarette butts. For more information visit www.solv.org or call 800-333-SOLV.
