My son and I did the coastal cleanup back a couple months in the SF Bay area. My work is right down by the bay, so we helped with the wildlife refuge on the old salt marsh flats.
Problem was, there were so many goodhearted helpers from my company, that, though we arrived on time, others had been working for an hour and had cleaned up all the easy pickings, and we were reduced to pulling non-native weeds for the most part. We had to leave, and we heard that the volunteers then fanned out and cleaned the highway too. The salt marshes there hold a wonderous amount of birdlife now.
