City of Newport Beach Unveils Beach Trash Interceptor

Last month, TPA had the privilege of attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the City of Newport Beach’s Beach Trash Interceptor project! In 2024, we worked alongside then-Senator Dave Min, Assemblymember Diane Dixon, and the City to secure the final $1.6 million in funding needed to bring this project to life.

This groundbreaking initiative will significantly reduce trash entering Newport Bay, improving the health and environment of the entire region. We are proud to have played a role in making this vision become a reality and we can’t wait to see its lasting impact!
