Beautify Goleta Plastic Free July Cleanup July 19

Join us at the Ellwood Bluffs and the surrounding Marketplace Neighborhood

Join the City of Goleta and Mission Refill for a meaningful morning of community and environmental stewardship on Saturday, July 19, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., as part of Plastic Free July and the City’s Plastic Free Goleta initiative.

We’ll be meeting up at the Ellwood entrance, located at the intersection of Cannon Green Drive and Phelps Road, for a litter cleanup focused on the Ellwood Bluffs and surrounding Marketplace neighborhood. There’s ample street parking available—though we encourage you to consider alternative transportation options to keep the event light on emissions and strong on sustainability.

This year’s cleanup will once again be captained by Valerie from Mission Refill, who led a fantastic event during last year’s Plastic Free July celebration. Valerie brings her passion for zero-waste living and community action to the forefront, and we’re proud to partner with her again.

The City will be providing all volunteers with a reusable Go Green Goleta cutlery set, a must-have for summer activities. Mission Refill will also be showing how easy refilling can be by providing free hand soap refills to volunteers. Bring any empty, clean jar or container (up to 16oz per person as supplies last).
