Pickup Posse

This is an organize a team that will help to make Carmel-by-the-Sea “Litter-Free”, forever. We recruit the existing heros doing this work independently and find new ones to help organize and track their efforts.
Why Join the Pick-up Posse?

First, it’s fun to be part of a group with similar interests. You’ll get a T-shirt to identify you as a member of our team.
Second, we will provide you with tools like a trash picker device, Biobags or buckets.
Third, and maybe most important, we want to track the time invested in this activity across the team so we will be better able to receive grants to help finance environmental projects.
