Our Mission.

To remove trash from our planet by empowering Veterans to clean our communities.

We accomplish our mission by having Veteran operated teams organize cleanups throughout the U.S. In return, we are giving Veterans a chance to recycle their leadership skills and continue our service in a different and equally important way.
