Community Coastal Column Trash-a-thon 2021: A Big Success! Ivy Munnerlyn, Coastal Programs Coordinator Trash-a-thon 2021 is a wrap! We’d like to give a big thanks to the wonderful donors and cleanup volunteers who made this year’s event so successful. Together, seven teams picked up 6,235 pieces of trash and raised $3,187! Volunteers also found creative ways of transporting the trash they collected. Team Llama Squad used pack llamas to haul trash off of Clam Beach, and team Life Bike-quatic used bike trailers to collect garbage. We love to see our volunteers’ boundless creativity being used for such a great cause. We hope to see you all next year for Trash-a-thon 2022!

NEC staff team joined Humboldt Area Center for Harm Reduction (HACHR) in their monthly cleanup near the Eureka Waterfront. HACHR hosts neighborhood cleanups the last Saturday of every month from 11am-1pm. Check them out at Facebook.com/HACHR707 and Instagram @ hachr707

Thank you To Our Wonderful Donors!
