The City of Goleta is reminding our community about an upcoming Beautify Goleta event in celebration of Plastic Free July. Join us THIS Saturday, July 18, at the Goleta Community Center (5679 Hollister Avenue). The City’s Beautify Goleta program includes a free bulky item drop-off and a community litter cleanup, both designed to support a cleaner, more sustainable Goleta. The event will also feature educational opportunities with the Plastic Free Goleta team and the Old Town Goleta Neighborhood Creek Project.
