About this facility
- Mission
- from website: SOLV is a non-profit organization that brings together individual volunteers, service and conservation groups, businesses and government agencies in activities to restore our natural spaces and provide educational opportunities to encourage environmental stewardship. Governor Tom McCall and other community leaders established SOLV in 1969. They saw the need for community action to address problems in the ever-growing state. Today SOLV is building on their vision with a strategic plan that will guide us as we work to improve the environment of Oregon and build a legacy of stewardship. SOLV annually provides resources to more than 250 Oregon communities, focusing on cleanup, native planting, invasive plant removal and environmental maintenance projects. SOLV creates an average of 50,000 volunteer opportunities across the state. Since 1997, SOLV has provided an estimated $60,000,000 in service to Oregon.

Notes
Oregon's Tsunami Debris Response
In response to what is becoming an unprecedented amount of marine debris in Oregon, SOLVE has taken a leading role with partners Surfrider Foundation, CoastWatch, Oregon Sea Grant and Washed Ashore, in forming a plan and a coordinated effort through our collaborative group, the Oregon Marine Debris Team. Our team is working in an effort to engage volunteer and citizen response in cooperation with local, state and federal agencies in marine debris removal projects.
Learn more about Oregon's coordinated response (see website at http://www.solv.org/get-involved/tsunami-debris-response ).
A network of 32 drop-off sites on the Oregon coast are now ready to receive beach debris washing ashore from the tsunami that struck Japan in March 2011. The drop-off sites are free and are a combination of state parks and independent recycling and transfer stations located in every county. Visitors and residents can call 211 (or 1-800-SAFENET) to report tsunami debris they see on the beach. The drop-off sites will accept debris in official beach cleanup bags produced by SOLVE. Beach cleanup bags are available at state park campgrounds.
There will also be an increased number of beach cleanups scheduled on the Oregon Coast. Join the Marine Debris Team volunteer list if you are interested in helping with this effort.
