Hooray! It’s finally dry enough to return and finish the drainage zone adjacent to the railroad tracks, both north and south of Elk Grove Blvd.
Best place to park is the lot behind 9052 Elk Grove Boulevard. It’s a little tricky getting there, so please use Google maps to see where it is. You can also park along Elk Grove Boulevard.
Wagons or wheelbarrows will be useful, and there’s a possibility we might be able to get a truck into a portion of the area to transport the trash where it can be easily picked up.
We will also encourage cleanup of the alley, the main road, and other areas nearby.
Mud boots might still be useful as there are a few puddles.
Elk Grove is worth the work!
New to cleanups? Please arrive 15 minutes early to get signed in and get gear. If you have supplies, please bring your own gloves, buckets, bags, but we have items for you. Buckets, gloves, grabbers, vests, bags.
Please wear appropriate clothing, boots 🥾 or closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, hats, and bring your own water.
All cleanups are done at your own risk, but safety first! Our trash safety talk starts promptly at 9:00 am.
See you soon!!
Let’s Clean Elk Grove together!

We will return to this area again to hike on rocky terrain, on small trails through the old dredge tailings where we will continue to discover dozens of small abandoned camps and lots of trash, on the surface and buried under the soil. A GeoTrash map will be available for those who have Google Maps. There will be plenty of trash to be found with or without the map. Free parking.
We will focus on areas where no one else will go, but there will also be plenty of easy trash for those unable to brave the rocks. There should be something for everyone.
This will be an easy to difficult level event with a moderate walk.
AGE LIMIT: This event is not suitable for minors under 14 years old. Minors older than 14 are invited, but must be supervised by a responsible adult during the entire event.
We will provide bags, but please bring along your sturdy waterproof footwear, grabbers, buckets, and gloves – a limited number of loaner buckets and grabbers may be available. If you have a cultivator or shovel, those could also be handy. Participants will be required to wear rain boots or waders if they intend to enter any streams or rivers. Entry into any waters is always optional.
As with all events shared on our Page, participation is performed solely at your own risk. Please place safety FIRST and do only what you feel comfortable doing. Moreover, participants will be required to sign a Release and Waiver form if they have not done so previously.
Overall, be safe, have fun and get some “Exercise with a Purpose”!, as Bill Templin says. Thank you! 💚
