Our biggest VOLUNTEER turnout to date, 30 volunteers. Several individuals even drove from San Francisco to support! There were a few homeless individuals who joined us as well.

150 bags, 11 dump trailer runs. This was a massive undertaking.

At this rate, we will clean all of the Bay Area, but we need the community’s support since the city doesn’t help us one bit. 😔 If we could just get a skid steer, dump trailer, bobcat, and be able to sustain the Homeless Ambassador Program to help maintain the cleanliness and empower people, we’d have cracked the code to the illegal dumping crisis.

Please consider supporting or volunteering with us!

It would help a lot with cigarettes. (€2750, so no)

At a local waterway I picked all of this up at.

3 full bags collected from Ripley, Queensland, including 1 bag of trash from a maintenance clean 1 month after 8 bags of trash were removed from the area shown in the photos. Not sure what prompts people to dump such a large number of cigarettes in a pile like that but I think I set a new record for the number of cigarettes collected from a single little area. Also witnessed a piece of trash blow out a ute as it rounded a corner on the way to clean this area, which further confirms where most of this rubbish comes from.

Multiple bottles and multiple little mini hard liquor shots. I find tons of these. People drink a drive and toss them out the window. This time I must’ve gotten a cluster of at least 10, it’s crazy to think people are drunk boozers while they’re driving. It’s odd how the glass bottles always make it up to the fence line.

Just a little garbage from a river in Brazil (it eventually flows into Río de la Plata) but I thought it was worth sharing; very different from the regular things I pick up from trails or the streets. Also the bottles were probably full of urine - unfortunately, some of the men that come to the river for recreational fishing relieve themselves on the bottles and throw them into the river.

Had no problems using our litter grabber to pick up the can next to him!

Usually pick up 2-5 things in most parking lots I stop in.

I couldn't get photo with a lot of litter because all the litter is scattered along the road.

I went here since I heard it was a good spot to fish/camp and saw all this. Even got the Sheriff’s Office to reply, they recently put up a sign that says $250 fine for littering.

3kg

I went here originally to fish but after seeing how much trash was here I decided to dedicate my whole day to picking up trash.

I thinks it's mostly bits of people's recycling bins, but I'm always curious what all it could have come from.
