Help build the capacity for responsible desert cleanup. SoCal Desert Cleanup is in its launch phase, bringing together the equipment, tools and support needed to prepare cleanup work in Southern California desert communities.

Donate through Zeffy (opens a new tab)

You will leave this website to complete your donation on Zeffy, an independent payment platform. Payment information is not collected on this page.

Any optional contribution to Zeffy is separate from your donation to SCDC. Review it before paying, along with Zeffy’s checkout, receipt and privacy terms.

What your support helps fund

Documentation and community tools: Reporting technology, website tools and community documentation.
Cleanup tools and safety supplies: Safety equipment, cleanup tools and volunteer-event supplies.
Hauling capability: Trucks, trailers, fuel, hauling and lawful disposal costs.
Responsible field readiness: Insurance, site planning, permissions and operational readiness.

No fixed percentage is promised for any category. Needs may change as projects, permissions and field-readiness requirements develop. Unless a written gift agreement says otherwise, donations may be used where most needed for SCDC’s charitable purposes.

Truck, trailer and equipment support

Our launch plans call for a truck, trailer and equipment to reach dumping sites and haul waste. Financial support helps build that capacity; offering equipment or materials is a separate, contact-based conversation.

We welcome conversations about trucks, utility or dump trailers, cleanup tools, protective equipment, bins, fuel, hauling and lawful disposal support. Please do not deliver equipment or materials without written coordination.
