U-Clean-It Stations
​To aid in removing trash from the water, LMI established four "U-Clean-It" stations around Lake Merritt. Each box contains nets, two trash barrels, trash bags, gloves, instructions and sign in sheet. They are located near:

• The Grand Avenue & Harrison St. intersection.
• Between the Lake Chalet restaurant and the Cameron Stanford House along Lakeside Drive.
• At the E. 18th St. and Lakeshore Drive dock.
• By the columns structure, at the end of the Lake between Grand Avenue and Lakeshore Drive​​
• contact LMI for more info​

• Trash Collection​

LMI picks up trash, removes it from the water, not the land, using nets to scoop it out and toss it into trash bags. Five days a week when school is in session and four days a week at other times, LMI cleans the shoreline of Lake Merritt. About 1,000 to 5,000 pounds are removed every month.
