LAKE TAHOE, Calif./Nev.. – The public is encouraged to finish summer on a high note by taking part in Keep Tahoe Blue’s 11th annual Labor Day Cleanup at Kings Beach State Recreation Area from 8:30 a.m. – 11:30 a,m, on Monday, September 1.

Lake Tahoe provided a spectacular summer. Now it’s your opportunity to say thanks with a few hours of hands-on, beach area beautification. Join visitors, residents, businesses, friends and family to remove litter, refresh and revitalize the shoreline, and leave nearby neighborhood, business and parking areas clean as summer comes to a close.

Keep Tahoe Blue is grateful for our partners at California State Parks, Arcade Belts, and Northstar California Resort whose support makes this event possible. Kings Beach is part of Keep Tahoe Blue’s Tahoe Blue Beach program through generous grant funding from the North Tahoe Community Alliance’s TOT-TBID Dollars at Work program, which reinvests funds generated in North Lake Tahoe to support community vitality, environmental stewardship, and economic health.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

Register in advance at keeptahoeblue.org/laborday.

WHEN:

8:30 – 11:30 am | Monday, September 1 (Labor Day)

WHERE:

Kings Beach State Recreation Area | Bear St, Kings Beach, CA 96143 (map)

WHO:

Volunteers of all ages and abilities are welcome. No prior experience is required. California State Parks, Arcade Belts, and Northstar California Resort join Keep Tahoe Blue to host the event.

WHAT:

Volunteers will clean the beach and surrounding area to celebrate Labor Day, mark the end of summer, and prevent litter from reaching the Lake. Participants will be treated to snacks, refreshments, and a raffle.

WHY:

Removing trash from Tahoe’s sensitive environment protects the Lake, and so does collecting data about the litter found. Keep Tahoe Blue’s policy professionals use that data to advocate for solutions to stop litter at source, like banning plastic bags, Styrofoam, and single-use plastic water bottles.
