Equipped with gloves, bags, and a shared sense of purpose, participants set out to scour the streets, sidewalks, and planters of Carlsbad. And their efforts did not disappoint! By the end of the morning, a remarkable 193 pounds of trash had been collected - a testament to the dedication and hard work of everyone involved.

The event was made even more enjoyable thanks to the support of local businesses. Baba Coffee provided much-needed caffeine boosts to keep volunteers energized, while Handel’s Ice Cream and Pure Project Carlsbad offered incentives in the form of free ice cream cones and discounted pints for those who participated.

As we look ahead to future events, let's continue to work together to keep Carlsbad clean, green, and beautiful for years to come!
