Why should you care?

Each person generates on average 1 kilogram of waste per day. That's enough waste to fill 285 000 trucks. If we were to put them in a row, the line would go from New York to London.

Part of it gets recycled but a huge amount of trash ends up on illegal dumps. These dumps are everywhere - in our cities, nature, rivers and oceans.

TrashOut is an environmental project which aims to map all illegal dumps around the world and help citizens recycle more.

Clean up your neighbourhood

The first step in cleaning up the world is knowing where all the “dirty spots” are. Use TrashOut to report any illegal dump you come across. Environmental organisations, municipalities or active citizens in the area will be notified. You too can choose to receive these notifications.

The second step is the actual clean up often organised by municipalities, local environmental NGOs and volunteers. You can always speed things up by cleaning the dump yourself or organising a cleaning event in TrashOut.

Dispose of your waste the right way

We all know recycling is important in reducing our environmental footprint. But we often do not know how and where to dispose of our waste the right way.

Use TrashOut to easily find the right bin or collection center for your waste. Filter recycling bins and centers based on their size, type of waste they accept and proximity to you. Get directions to get there and see their opening hours.

Anyone can add more bins and centers to help out.
