Log your work
- What counts as one trash bag? A doggie poop bag, grocery bag, green steps bag, regular trash bag, a box of trash, one large bulky item - use your best judgement!
- Make sure to include a before and after photo. The before photo must show the area you are planning on cleaning up. The after photo must include that same area as well as the trash bags you're logging.
- Every bag is worth one point.
-
Redeem a gift card
- Once you have at least 5 points, you will be able to request a gift card right here on the dashboard.
