Clean California Will Remove Enough Trash to Fill Three Rose Bowl Stadiums

Revisiting the former dumping site in South Los Angeles where he unveiled his $1.1 billion Clean California initiative earlier this year, Gov. Gavin Newsom joined state and local officials at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new mini park project completed at the site. Newsom also highlighted the progress underway to revitalize streets and public spaces across the state.

“A little over seven months ago, I was here picking up trash myself – everything from mattresses to needles. Now looking at this space, we see what’s possible with real investments and hard work, and it’s something we are replicating throughout the state,” said Newsom. “This is an amazing example of what can be done with serious investments in California’s future. Folks across the state will see and feel the difference as Clean California starts to take root – we are cleaning up our state.”

For the next three years, Clean California will remove an additional 1.2 million cubic yards or 21,000 tons of trash from the state system alone – enough to fill the Rose Bowl three times over.
