Scavenge at the Santa Clara Annual Cleanup Campaign (weekend 1 Saturday)

The City of Santa Clara does a thing where residents can put stuff which is not normally accepted by garbage/recycling on the street and the City takes it away. But you can also take stuff out of the piles! You can find amazing stuff and help reduce waste!

If it sounds like fun to you, it will be. If you are wondering why anybody would want to do this, it is probably not for you :)

We will scavenge on the streets outside my house so we have a home base to rest, clean, cool off, organize. I set the event to be three hours but you can stay as long as you want.

It might be hot today. There will be little shade so you should bring sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, and water. Wear closed-toe shoes comfortable for walking. I will provide gloves.

You should bring bags to carry the things you find. If you have a wagon or rolling cart, please bring it for us to use!!
