TRASHBLITZ
Your cleanup can drive change.
While participating in a cleanup has immediate benefits for that specific area, data can have an ongoing ripple effect by supporting policy measures and solutions. The TrashBlitz app makes it easy to collect data on brands, materials, and items found at cleanup events. Each record contributes to local, national, and global datasets to help inform policy in the United States and around the world. By contributing data to TrashBlitz, you can have an impact beyond the cleanup.
HOW TO BLITZ
1. Familiarize yourself with the platform by watching the training video and reviewing the material guide.
2. Download the TrashBlitz app or use the web-based platform.
3. Select your event. You can do a TrashBlitz as part of our Plastic-Free Parks campaign or Break Free From Plastic’s global brand audit.
4. Now it’s time to clean up and tag your trash! It’s best to work in pairs, with one person collecting trash while the other inputs data.
5. Review your data, and hit submit. If you’re using the physical data card, make sure to submit the data online afterward to contribute to the larger dataset that will be used to drive real solutions!
