LAKE COUNTY >> The beaches around Clear Lake are increasing in number and size due to low lake levels. Many trash objects, such as old and discarded tires, are now visible.
To take advantage of the exposed shoreline conditions, the Lake County Department of Water Resources has scheduled a Clear Lake Cleanup day for Dec. 6 between 8:30 a.m. and noon.
“Volunteer just three hours of your time and know you will have made Clear Lake a cleaner place for everyone and our wild life to enjoy,” Carolyn Ruttan of the Lake County Department of Water Resources and event coordinator said.
The three sites chosen for cleanup will be shorelines in Lucerne, the city of Clearlake and Clearlake Oaks.
To participate in the Clear Lake Cleanup, email Carolyn Ruttan at Carolyn.ruttan@lakecountyca.gov or call 295-0333 (any time) to determine the closest coordination site.
Dress in appropriate attire, and bring gloves, bottled water and snacks. Gloves will be available at the coordination site for those who don”t have them. All participants will need to sign a waiver of liability. An adult will need to sign for anyone younger than the age of 18.
C&S Waste Solutions and the Lake County Department of Public Services are also providing services to assist with the cleanup event.
