Three ways in

Pick your role. Skip the archaeology.

I'm a person

Find something within 5 km

Join → add to calendar → WhatsApp your friends. Solo cleanup if nothing is nearby.

Find near me

I'm an organiser

Create an event on the map

Location → dashboard → promo kit → attendance → report results into the global count.

Start organising

I represent an organisation

Company, school, city, NGO

Run a campaign, invite people, track participation, share an impact dashboard.

Humans, not “impact”

This isn't an organisation. It's millions of people.

We started with seven people. Now 40,000 people participate.

This is our coast. We clean it together every September.
