NATIONAL CLEANUP · THE PLATFORM

A System for Cleanups, Organizers, and Support

National Cleanup is the solution to the litter and trash problem in the United States

The infrastructure the cleanup sector has been missing. Thousands of independent organizations clean up America's parks, trails, and waterways every year — without shared tools, common data, or any way to show their collective impact. We built the missing layer addressing this need.

National Cleanup programs support organizations with processes, standards, advocacy, behavior change models, data/mapping systems, and the Annual National Litter Index

What We Build

A Platform for the Entire Cleanup Sector

Built on Esri ArcGIS. Open to everyone. No affiliation required.

REGISTER

Anyone, an indvidual, a government, a group, or a nonprofit, registers a cleanup through our custon interface. Public or private. Any number of cleanups, anywhere, any time, and at any scale. Visit the Register page.

MAP

Every registered cleanup appears as a pin on a live ArcGIS map. People wanting to find a cleanup near them may search by address, location, date, and it is updated in real time.

REPORT

After the cleanup, organizers submit results through our custom form. Volunteer counts, weight collected, photos, videos, all geo-referenced.

ANALYZE

9 years of longitudinal data. Story Maps that show where cleanups happen, where gaps remain, and what the cumulative impact looks like across all 50 states.
