About Us
Trash for Change
Collect Trash and Get Paid
Our approach to city litter is to award collectors with prizes or direct payments
At our nonprofit, we believe in the power of incentives to drive change and bring communities together in the fight against city litter. By rewarding collectors with prizes or direct payments, we not only encourage active participation, but also create opportunities for individuals, including the homeless, to earn money while making a positive impact on our environment.
Our approach is designed to engage a diverse range of participants, from local residents and schools to businesses and organizations. Through competitions, challenges, and appreciation events, we foster a sense of community spirit and responsibility, all while working towards our ultimate goal of improving the cleanliness of our city and the health of our rivers and public spaces. Together, we can create a cleaner, greener San Antonio where everyone plays a part in preserving our environment for future generations.

Empowering Community Action: Monthly Events and Inclusive Participation
Monthly Events
Our vision is to host monthly events that bring our community together to tackle litter and pollution in San Antonio. Through these events, we aim to provide opportunities for residents, businesses, and organizations to participate in fun, engaging, and rewarding activities centered around trash collection. As we gain traction and support, these events will grow in scale, fostering a strong sense of community spirit and environmental stewardship. By regularly involving the community in our mission, we'll create an ongoing, sustainable impact on the cleanliness and health of our city.
Anybody can Collect
Our program is designed to encourage everyone in the community to get involved in trash collection, regardless of their background or circumstances. Eventually collectors will have the option to choose between receiving direct payments for their efforts or participating in our monthly incentive programs, which include prizes, community service hours, and appreciation events. This approach ensures that a wide range of individuals, including the homeless population, can benefit from our initiatives while contributing to a cleaner San Antonio. By offering flexible rewards and fostering an inclusive environment, we empower everyone to take part in creating a cleaner, healthier, and more vibrant city.
