5. When you find litter , photograph it in the Rubbish app​

6. Add tags in the app to describe the trash

7. At the end of the survey - end the “Rubbish Run” and add any additional comments (eg. how many people were surveying).

Don't have iOS? 

• Follow the survey instructions above. But, instead of using the Rubbish app take photos of trail trash using a phone with location-tagging enabled 

• Upload the photos here!

​

Other helpful notes: 

• We define litter as: anything of human origin, with no foreseeable future use 

• Survey anything within 2 meters of the trail (~6ft)

• Photograph anything the size of a cigarette butt (approximately 1 cm) and larger.

• Take only 1 photo of each object and photograph it in the location it was found
