That’s a wrap to the South Baltimore Brewery District Cleanups this year! Check out the data we collected on plastic bags and plastic bottles to help shape and show need for policies like extended producer responsibility for packaging, beverage deposit return systems, and plastic bag bans and fees.

The results are in for the South Baltimore Brewery District Cleanup! 40+ incredible volunteers braved the chilly morning air to make a difference. The data collected will help drive policies that stop litter at the source. Donate to turn cleanups into change!

The impacts on trash and litter have been felt by Marylanders across the state. Litter cleanups, giving generously, and sharing our mission have helped drive landmark victories. Litter does not belong in our communities, public spaces, and waterways. Together we are creating a Trash Free Maryland this Giving Tuesday with policy solutions to prevent trash and plastic pollution.

63 new, familiar, and furry faces joined us for a litter cleanup in the South Baltimore Brewery District. A trend is forming in the data you are collecting which will be instrumental in passing plastic bag bans and extended producer responsibility for packaging. See you at Cheers to Clean Water September 21st!

On International Coastal Cleanup Day, our volunteers turned the tide on litter in Baltimore City, Maryland. The data collected during the cleanup on plastic bags and plastic bottles not only validates previous notions on these common littered items but proves and will help pass policy in the state of Maryland.

What does Baltimore City, Maryland’s charming local breweries, trash and litter policy, a cleanup, and healthy communities have in common? Cheers to Clean Water 2023! With statewide momentum building, this year we are focusing on plastic bags and plastic bottles.

Spring is near and we cannot wait for the cleanups to begin! If you are hosting a cleanup or are attending one we encourage you to checkout the best way to collect trash data to help influence trash and pollution policies!
