LitterTrace

LitterTrace is a mobile app that connects volunteers to local community cleanups while tracking measurable impact so users can see real results from their efforts. The app combines live maps, RSVP-driven events, before-and-after photo logging and a clear points system so individuals, school groups or corporate teams can find nearby cleanups, record bags and weight collected, and monitor CO₂ saved and volunteer hours. If you want a simple, measurable way to organize or join neighborhood cleanups and earn recognition for your work, LitterTrace gives the tools and feedback to make every cleanup count.

Advantages
