Save the Great South Bay truly appreciates all the folks who lend a hand and help keep litter out of our waterways, whether it's at one of our creek cleanups or on their own. As most litter eventually makes its way into the Great South Bay through storm drains and other means, tracking the amounts and types of litter we pick up helps us measure our efforts.
Using the Clean Swell app, for clean ups of any size, amplifies those efforts even further by contributing to the bigger picture. The data collected is accessed by researchers and policy makers to drive decisions regarding pollution.
All volunteers at our Creek Defender events are taught how to use this app to record the litter they find and remove throughout the day. Amplify YOUR efforts and contribute to something bigger by using the Clean Swell App.
