Local cleanup story

Use this when the request is tied to one city, county, repeat hotspot, or a cleanup effort already underway.

Useful story anglesStart here
1

One public place instead of scattered posts

The site works best when reporting, map context, and follow-through stay tied together instead of living across unrelated posts and screenshots.

2

Repeat spots matter more than one report

The map helps people see where the same roadside, lot, or creek edge keeps filling back up after cleanup.

3

Recognition can keep cleanup going

Visible credit and contributor history can help local cleanup work last longer than a single volunteer day.

Fast facts
The project is built around public reporting, map context, and follow-through.
The report flow is designed to work quickly on phones without making the user guess what comes next.
The public pages are meant to stay readable for residents, volunteers, local groups, and media alike.
What we can usually provide

Background, screenshots, and a clear explanation of the public flow.

If the request is tied to a local cleanup effort or repeat hotspot, include that detail so the reply can stay specific to the place you are covering.
