Hello everyone,
This is r/DeTrashed, reddit's premiere sub committed to cleaning up the environment one piece of trash at a time. Please post anything related to picking up trash. Anything from picking up a bottle while walking your dog in the morning, cleaning up a campsite or even organizing a clean-up event.
Remember although this sub was started on just picking up trash and cleaning the environment, it is so much more. Please share anything that involves taking an active step to improve the earth, like cleaning up trash, recycling, removing invasive species, green improvements on your house, magnet fishing, clearing gutters, etc.! Be creative!
Keep in mind the main point of this sub isn't about bragging (although you are allowed to), it is about encouraging others to help out and get involved. Although some people may say our actions alone don't make much of a difference, when there is an entire subreddit dedicated to it and encouraging others, then we can absolutely make a difference!
To everyone who has been spreading this sub by mentioning it in threads and such, THANK YOU! We have grown so much since our creation and we hope to become one of the largest, most engaging subs on reddit because that'll mean more people are DeTrashing the earth than ever before. Please keep it up and continue to encourage others to stop by for a visit (or, hopefully, to stay!).

Detrashing while hiking.
Trying to think of an ideal bag to attach to my day pack so I can pack out trash I find on trails. Does anyone have a set up like what I'm describing?

😳must have been a case of water. 2 buckets and a bag full of unopened. SO heavy lol!
Some frozen - some filthy but I’ll use the water at least for plants at some point!

Waders?
Hi all, I pick up trash in our local creek and wooded area. Looking for recommendations of waders? Currently in BOGS and fleece lined pants but would like something a bit more sturdy.

First new adopted street of 2025!
We adopted a new street that goes along the edge of town. Plenty of packaging garbage from passing trucks and some obvious instances of illegal dumping.
We were only able to go about 1/4 mile the first day. The street is 1.2 miles long so we have a bit more to do!
Feels good to be back out after the holiday break. 180lbs removed so far!

Saturday's froze Tire cleanup Video - 70 tires removed from ice and up a steep hill.

Maryland Detrasher
Honest question-
I get out there and de trash my neighborhood around Baltimore County pretty frequently. I’ve hauled in TONs of trash and recyclables.
I do feel a bit bad tho - all this trash just going into the landfill. Does anyone have any insight as to what the environmental impact of trash is in neighborhoods vs a landfill? I get a bit discouraged to think I’m actually just moving the trash around, not really helping anything.

What’s the grossest/weirdest thing you’ve found?
I found a heavy, full backpack in the marsh today. I slowly opened it with my grabbers in case there was something “organic” inside but it turned out to be a bunch of fishing tackle. I’ve gathered quite a bit but haven’t found any bodies or anything too crazy, so I’m curious - how common are the “nasty finds”?

Cleaning St.Pete/ Lealman, Pinellas Park
St. Pete/Pinellas Park, FL
Hi everyone!
Is there anyone interested in accompanying me while I de-trash in the St. Pete/Pinellas Park area?
I already volunteer with KBP and Water Warrior Alliance, but would like to create an informal group that targets areas that are not cleaned as often.
If this is something that appeals to you, please send me a text. Thank you guys and have an awesome rest of your weekend.
