About GARCU

GARCU is the American River Parkway Foundation’s largest annual clean-up event and is held on California Coastal Cleanup Day in concert with the California Coastal Commission. For nearly 40 years, GARCU has invited the community to take part in this statewide movement that mobilizes tens of thousands of volunteers throughout California to clean up trash from local beaches, lakes and waterways.

In past years, up to 2,100 local volunteers have come out to help remove debris from multiple areas along the river, highlighting why the Parkway is the greatest civic amenity in this region.
