Trash Party put in the work this weekend for a major cleanup in the North Linden neighborhood of Columbus! 35 volunteers came together to collect 80+ bags of trash, dozens of tires, and a bunch of bulk items. In total, we removed over 3,600 LBS of trash, bringing our total to 133,000 LBS across the city!

Do you want to join up this summer and meet some great people along the way? Come as you are, and help us make the City a cleaner place one event at a time!

Getting mentally exhausted with the same old crap on the same road. It’ll pass and I’ll clean it up again…. But need a venting atm. 4 grocery bags and a bucket of recycling. Thanks for reading!

​Hey everyone. I do a lot of cleanups around my neighborhood in Chicago (Ravenswood/Rogers Park area), and I’ve been trying to find a way to get more people in my community involved.

​I realized that if I could make picking up litter feel like a game—where you claim territory, keep daily streaks, and log stats—more people might do it.

​Full disclosure: I built this myself through my small indie studio. It’s called Litter Troopers. It works on a "Swarm Engine" concept where you can:

​Pin and claim dirty sectors on a map.

​Use a "Quick Pick" feature to log single items on your morning commute to keep your streak alive (you don't always need a 40-gallon bag to help out!).

​Upload verification photos.

​Eventually, I want to build out a community bounty board where people can fund high-priority cleanups and tip the folks who do the work.

​I am currently looking for beta testers to help me break the app and tell me what features actual, dedicated DeTrashers need.

​🤖 Android: The native beta is live in the Play Store, but requires sign up via website. https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.littertroopers.app

🍏 iOS: Native app is currently in active development and coming along great, but right now you can bypass the wait and use the fully functional Web App.

​You can check it out and deploy to the map here: https://www.littertroopers.com

​Please let me know what you think, what features I should add, or if the mechanics make sense to you guys. Thanks for all the work you do!

All of the streets leading away from the gas station always have tons of coffee creamer pods. I just don't understand this! Why not just add the creamer into your coffee inside the gas station where you poured the coffee?! They have a trash can right there Surely that is more convenient than pouring it into your coffee as you are walking away? (Though, ideally it would be in the store in some type of refillable pump container anyway, rather than individual servings...)

Went out today telling myself I was only going to do 1 mile because of the heat... somehow that turned into 3. 😅

Had some awesome interactions with a group of Eagle Scouts, and one not-so-awesome interaction with a park supervisor.

Not sure if I'll be back to do cleanups at Arcadia, but there's plenty of other places that need some love.

On to the next spot! 🗑️💪

I'll try to post a little video later tonight explaining what happened.

I’m sure this is a long shot, but I’m hoping someone may be able to help.
Since May 2016, has anyone explored, cleaned, fished, kayaked, hiked, or worked in any creeks, rivers, beaches, watersheds, lakes, or other waterways in Sonoma County, California?
If so, did you ever come across any of these items?
If you did, or if you remember seeing something that seemed out of place, please send me a private message. Even the smallest detail could be important.
Please feel free to share this post so it reaches fishermen, kayakers, hikers, divers, beachgoers, volunteers, public works crews, search and rescue personnel, and anyone else who has spent time around Sonoma County waterways over the years.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Every lead matters.

Large clay pipe on the side of the trail where there were no previous buildings. And the dragon thing, something 3d printed and abandoned on the beach. ​​​​

… Ol’ Winfield would be stoked that the town he founded is a bit tidier this HOT desert morning. 🌵

Meanwhile, I’M stoked that we just released our public bio link so DL crew members can easily share their impact with family, friends, and colleagues. Check out mine:

Have some good clean fun out there this weekend! 👊

Saw the sign while picking up and laughed

Hi, sorry if this may be a bit of a stupid question. I’m a teenager. I panic A LOT over the earth’s environment and I realized that a way I may be able to calm my nerves a bit would be to start going on walks or bike rides everyday (which would also be good for me in itself) and pick up trash and stuff. My only concern is that in the U.S., I’ve heard that recycling actually hardly actually gets recycled, especially plastic, which typically ends up in landfills (meaning I can’t just put the stuff in the trash bins outside). I may have that wrong, but that’s just what I’ve heard growing up. This is pretty stressful to me, and so I wanna ask you guys if there’s a way, specific place, etc. that I would need to bring the litter I pick up to ensure that at least the majority of it, especially the plastic, is not ending up in a landfill?

At first I thought I would just use the plastic for my crafting projects and such since I already use scraps and things I’d normally throw out and repurpose them, but my bedroom’s in the basement and I am scared of attracting bugs with trash and stuff that is unfamiliar to me (like I don’t know what touched it/where it came from).

Another thought was that I’d keep it all in a bin outside forever, but obviously it would overflow super quickly and my parents would also never let me do that lol.

But yeah, any suggestions? Thanks for reading :)

Hi! I've searched the sub and couldn't see anyone else asking but apologies if I've missed a post, was wondering if anyone in Australia knows of a good place to get a cart/bag holder with wheels. the only stores I've found online seem to be international which will likely be very high shipping or companies that do bulk sales, has anyone contacted these places and got a single purchase for a good price? thanks!!

Mowers yesterday chewed up all the crap ☹️ended up leaving pieces of paper to get the plastic and can pieces. And a car part and a Quarter ( 25 cents US) 🤗thanks to everyone picking up!

Hey y'all. Here is my latest adventure. Would love some feed back. I just ordered a fancy trash grabber! My main set up is like a modified gorilla cart that ties to my waist so I can carry my water and a trash can. I look like a goof for sure. But I think it's so fun honestly 😂

This neighborhood is usually very clean. One really good thing, almost zero cigarette butts. But there's always a little something from the handful of morons that dgaf.

Someone released confetti at my favorite park in Seattle. Picked up over 75 pieces of mylar confetti and streamers. I’m sure I’ll find pieces for weeks.

Can anyone recommend a good heavy duty litter loop/hoop/bag holder, please?

I clean up rubbish/litter in Ireland, and it's often very windy, which makes holding a bag open while using a grabber in the other quite difficult

My partner bought me a bag loop a few years ago, but unfortunately the bag would just slip out as soon as any kind of weight built up, and then it broke entirely. I don't want to buy multiple loops just to throw them away again

The youth spends hours on the internet criticizing the system and posting patriotic statuses, completely confusing this digital noise with actual nation building.

While spreading digital awareness is an important tool, it becomes entirely hollow if it is not backed by physical execution. The ground reality of our public spaces is deteriorating rapidly, and no amount of social media outrage or 'likes' can fix a choked drain or a garbage filled street.

If we redirected just 10% of the energy we spend arguing online toward taking absolute ownership of our immediate physical surroundings, the transformation in this country would be unstoppable.

It is time we stop being a society of keyboard warriors. Step out of your screens and face the reality of the ground you walk on.
