A community dedicated to cleaning up our world, one piece of trash at a time. Out for a walk, hike, errand, trip, or anything else? Pick up a couple pieces of trash and help be part of making a difference!
Post those pictures of trail cleanups, campsite overhauls, getting tires out of the old watering hole, or that grassy area by the sidewalk you pass on your evening walks that too many people leave their trash in.
Individually we can only clean up our little slice of life, but together we can help promote a cleaner, detrashed world!

Pro tip for y'all: Take a plastic store bag, mash it flat on the table, fold it lengthwise, mash out the air, repeat twice. Starting at the bottom, roll it up tight, chasing the air out as you go and using your fingers to keep it from spreading out sideways, rubber band shut. Make a dozen while you're at it.

Keep at it and don't get discouraged! I've cleaned miles of trails around here and they mostly stay clean. Went from carrying home 2-3 bags home to not finding enough to bother with opening 1, just stuffed the little bit of trash in my pack.
