Inspiration
Local users of their communities can contribute their efforts and "pitch in” to reduce scattered litter. Users are helping to clean up the community one piece of litter at a time.
What it does
By incentivising people of every community to pitch in and pick up litter, we hope to preserve our environment for future generations to come.
4 steps:
- Download our app, and turn on your location services.
- Check out the heat map for areas especially in need of cleanup.
- When you help pick up litter, log it in our app for points.
- Repeat #2 and #3 enough times to receive a monetary reward!
