Participants will adopt a drain (or storm water ditch/swale) for regular clean ups and data collection – counting and removing trash and plastics that would otherwise enter our waterways.

This project will reveal the areas of campus that are most in need of a cleanup.

This project aims to reduce the amount of trash on local trails and foster an attitude of leave no trace and community engagement.

The goals of the #LeaveNoTrash University Challenge are to: 1) Provide an opportunity for everyone at universities around the world to contribute to a more sustainable campus by documenting the trash they see (and, where appropriate, to clean it up and dispose of it properly). 2) Help students and employees recognize the extent of the waste challenge on campus and in their community and be part of the solution 3) Provide a tool to spread the message to participate in #LeaveNoTrash wherever people live, work and play, all year long.
