You grabbed a bucket on a beach! Let’s count the trash you collected.

By tracking what you collect, you help scientists and advocates protect our waters and reduce pollution at the source.

Beach Bucket Steps

  1. Grab a bucket and collect trash during your beach visit.

  2. Track your trash using the Clean Swell app (scroll down to learn how).

  3. Empty your bucket and return it here when you’re done.
