City Scrapers started with a realization. The Top 5 dirtiest cities in the United States are by water. But why would that be the case. It has to do with what makes a city popular. A common appeal for people when vacationing, especially in the summer, is the beach or another body of water. 80% of tourism is in coastal areas. This makes coastal cities subject of a majority of tourism. Tourism brings an increase in waste production due tot he influx of people and some of that waste can end up in the oceans. 8 million metric tons of waste in the ocean each year, this increase by 40% during tourist season.
We are a volunteer-based organization focused on helping make the world around us a better, happier place by cleaning up coastal cities. With the help of our tireless staff, we organize cleaning trips, exciting community-building events, and in-depth training sessions for our volunteers so that they can stay safe as the clean the open cities. Our goal is to attack plastic and garbage pollution at the source while simultaneously making communities safer.
In order to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of our organizations efforts, we intend to partner up with organizations that have similar goals to ours. This would include Terracycle who allow us to recycle plastics that are typically unrecyclable.
Are you passionate about what we're doing? Let us know! We are always looking for volunteers to help us make our vision a reality. We'll help you find a way to volunteer that best suits you. We're excited to have you join the team!
