The Clean Swell App is a great way to clean up your favorite spots and track what you've accomplished! Download the app and then start cleaning up and recording what you pick up. All the data goes to the Ocean Conservancy for their research on marine debris and their International Coastal Cleanup report. The app will track your progress and you will earn badges to reward your achievements! This is great for those who want to do cleanups on their daily walks, at small access areas, or whenever they feel inspired. For more information and to download the app, visit:

You do not need to hit "respond" to this need - just download the app and start cleaning up!
A few guidelines:
- Always use gloves when picking up trash.
- Use common sense - beware of sharp items, ticks, poison ivy, and don't lift anything too heavy.
- Never fill up trash barrels so others can't use them, or leave bags of trash to be picked up without arranging it with the town or park manager. Be prepared to take it home with you!
- This posting is geared toward individual and small group cleanups. Larger groups must be permitted through the town or park.
