How it works

From spotting rubbish to a cleaner community

Anyone can report rubbish, anyone can volunteer. Here's the full journey — from the moment you spot a problem to sharing a photo of the cleaned location.

1

Report rubbish

Snap a clear photo, use your current GPS location, and tell us what you found. The whole thing takes under two minutes.

  • Photo required
  • Current GPS location
  • Pick a rubbish category
2

Volunteers can search

Browse a map of reported clean-ups near you. Filter by distance, category, and status. Choose one that fits you.

  • Search within 1–50 km
  • See photos and safety notes
  • Ask the reporter for more details
3

Clean and share the result

After cleaning safely, select “I have cleaned this” and submit your name and an after-photo. The report is marked cleaned once the photo is processed.

  • No account or claim needed
  • Name and after-photo required
  • Cleaner email is optional and private

Project status journey

New reports are opened automatically after photo processing. Anyone can then submit an after-photo to mark an open report cleaned.

Safety first

Volunteers should never handle needles, chemicals, asbestos, or dangerous materials. Read our safety guidelines before cleaning a location.
