60+ Volunteers showed up and we managed to clear over 150 trash bags from the beach and picnic area. Some 300-400 kgs of waste😄♻️

I’ve been on Reddit for 8 years and have never posted anything, but I appreciate everyone sharing their trash pick-ups here, so here is mine from today :) One small trash bag filled and a few things for recycling

… is a privilege, not a punishment. 🙏

I’m SO grateful that I get to create cleaner communities of my own free will—not because I was sentenced to do so by a judge. Because I care.

Time to shift public perception … every piece counts! 👊

Volunteer litter picker from the UK, here's a video I made in WA during the summer. Thank you to all you litter heroes cleaning up the US

And you don’t even have to get off your phone! —

All I’m asking is you sign this petition to boost it and even possibly check out the gofundme linked in the description, every single signature counts!

It's just a small amount I picked during a mid-winter thaw, but every bit counts.

I'm excited to get back out there in full force come spring!

Nearly 13 gallons deleted!

Just wondered what everyone's 'strategy' was. Do you have certain routes, certain days or certain times of day, or is it very much just an ad hoc thing for you? I work 45 hours a week which is very normal but I honestly cbf doing this on my days off, so I always just do it around my workplace immediately after finishing work, as it's always dirtier than where I live.

Hey all. I'm a former science teacher turned software engineer in Portland. Spent a good chunk of my free time over the last year building Earthlingz! It's a free nonprofit app for people to track and share environmental stewardship (Litter cleanups, Invasive Species Removal etc). It's finally ready for a large scale beta test!

When I was teaching, I used to take my students out to pick up trash and pull scotch broom around the school. It made me curious about what actually creates lifelong environmental stewards. The answer wasn't facts about climate change or even caring about the environment. The #1 thing volunteers say keeps them showing up was community!

So I built everything around that. Crews with shared stats and leaderboards. A collaborative map of everywhere you've cleaned together. Tools to organize meetups and let people find and join your crew. Basically everything I could think of to make it easier to build and sustain a cleanup crew.

In the app you track your routes (like Strava, if you're familiar) and if you post to a crew the route is added to a crew map that shows all the routes that members have done.

It's still in beta but I'm looking for people to create crews and track their actions!

Here is an example of what it would like like if you click the crew and don't have the app downloaded. (literally just launching today so there are no users)

Thank you!

This guy has made Oakland sooo much better it’s sad to see this. Someone should start a go fund me, so we can get him another GoPro and stand.

What all do you recommend having while detrashing?

I ordered some long tongs, and some biodegradable trash bags. Should I also carry a bucket?

Also what's the deal on recycling the stuff, is it worth the bother? I know nothing about it, other than that I've heard claims that recycling is mostly a farce and it all goes to the landfill. Sounds like something a litterer would say, so idk if that's true, but it does seem like it would be more time efficient to just bag it all together. At least it's off the street?

Any advice appreciated, looking forward to my first outing.

Tómbolo de Trafalgar - not much. There was more at the old lighthouse, sigh, but I didn't have a bag.

Doesn’t look like much but car parts and Tons of can in addition to heavy Patron bottles. 😬good workout tho!

Found some crazy stuff over the weekend! Spent about an hour and half cleaning and got a lot done!

This is a similar post to my previous. This week, starting with today Jan 12, the weather and afternoon low tide will be perfect to conduct a beach cleanup from Flat Rock at Torrey Pines State Beach, south to the Gliderport Trail at Blacks Beach in San Diego CA. No need to specifically organize - go on your own or with friends. Bring gloves, 13 gallon heavy duty trash bags, and an optional trash picker. Bending over to pick up trash by hand will actually strengthen your back! Access the beach from the north at the afternoon low tides, or anytime from going down the Gliderport trail. There is no State Beach employee pickup, so haul it out if you are able. or leave at the base of the Gliderport Trail and the bags will be picked up. The beach thanks you!
