This year we held 14 cleanups and, with the help of nearly 200 volunteers, we picked up more than 9,000 pounds of trash from local rivers and streams. Since 2019 we've partnered with the South Carolina Aquarium to track the trash we collect at our cleanups through the Litter Journal app . The data we collect helps us identify litter trends, inform advocacy and policy, and educate the public. In 2024 we collected and recorded 13,575 pieces of trash and debris at our cleanups.
