World Cleanup

You can make a difference! Download the World Cleanup App and start mapping mismanaged waste to bring the problem visible. Share it and join or create a cleanup event now!

Bring the change to your local community and map the trash in your neighbourhood -
in your city, state, country, or any place in the world while travelling.

All the data collected by users worldwide will be visualised in the World Waste Platform (https://opendata.letsdoitworld.org) for initiating worldwide clean-up events on World Cleanup Day - 15 September 2018 and for making long-term changes based on data collected.

Here’s what to do if you are interested in mapping trash:
— Download World Cleanup App and ask your friends / colleagues to do so as well;
— Go for a walk to find a pile of trash, take a picture and verify the trash you see anywhere it shouldn’t be;
— If you can clean it there and then – brilliant! Simply mark the point as ‘cleaned’ to let the world know. If not then leave the status as “Regular” or “Threat”;
--- To have more fun you can map as a Team. Ask your friends/ colleagues to join it and see the impact you can make together. To add a Team, please contact mapping team: https://www.worldcleanupday.org/map-it/
--- Join the waste mapping community if you'd like to share your mapping experience with other mappers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/WCDWasteMapping
