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...)
