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!).

Disposal options when detrashing
What is your go-to place for throwing away the bags you fill up when you detrash? How about for a person without access to their own bin, or a person without resources to pay dump fees?
I live in California and am always looking for ideas.
In my previous neighborhood I struck up a relationship with an apartment manager who was all-too happy to let me use their garbage since it kept the neighborhood clean.
What are other ideas or resources you can think of?
Thanks and cheers

I pick the signs that no one wants. 13 today but no big trash. People in the community watch out for me. Mobile Highway I just heard never looked better. I also received a compliment on the Wegrwood neighborhood

TIL one cig butt can pollute 1000 liters of water / Proud of you all even more now
This is a disturbing fact but on the "bright" side it shows the impact of your work!

The article also says in some tests a cigarette butt kills 50% of the fish in a tank!

Gamification of Trash CleanUp
Hi there,
I am creating a mobile application that should motivate users to cleanup trash in their area.
They can take a picture of a location that has trash and another picture after cleaning it up- or one user can report and another user can clean up.
There will be a point system for each action, badges and leaderboard.
I'm thinking how to name this app, and here are the 3 best ideas I have shortlisted:
- Piece of trash (This is a little controversial, but may also become viral, and more people will learn about the application and start cleaning trash)
- Trash CleanUp
- TrashMap
What do you think?

A song directed to all the litterbugs out there.

Walked the same loop around part of my apt complex. One bag filled each time.
My neighbors are disgusting and have trouble using the dumpsters that are literally in every corner of the complex. 😠

Yawl street. Picked in the woods today. It's an area that basically is a dump site. I enjoy the peace and quiet. No traffic. No one honking and waving. 165 lbs

First time, picked up trash on some trails.

And it's raining off and on all day long today. I did manage to get out for a bit and picked off WildLake Blvd by the Waffle House. I am the sign queen!

What is your least favorite item to pick?
Idea stolen from u/jilllian
What is your guys least favorite item to find and have to deal with? Piss bottles can leak, cigarette butt's smell horrible, diapers I don't even touch unless I can clean my grabbers after.
My question is, what is your guys least favorite item to have to pick? What piece of trash makes you go "oh damn, another ______, now I have to deal with this in my bag/bucket/hands"? There's lots to choose from, but what is the absolute worst for you.

Just finished a small haul. The condoms are always the worst.
I am definitely doing it on a small scale compared to you all, kudos!!

Did a beach clean up following a Fourth of July fireworks show, and sad to say, found a ton of new and intriguing objects!
