The Mission

One neighborhood, one collection day, one measurable goal. Here's how you can help.

The Goal: 5% Less Waste

We're aiming to reduce the total waste collected on Tuesday routes by 5%. That's trash, recycling, and compost — all going down. A small shift from enough households adds up fast.

Pledge to Reduce

Sign up below and commit to cutting your household waste. Pick one cart to focus on — trash, recycling, or compost — and start making changes that stick.

Spread the Word

This only works if enough people join in. Tell your neighbors, share with your block, get the word out. The more households that participate, the easier it is for everyone.

Join Your Neighbors

Enter your address to see if you're on the Tuesday route. If you are, you'll show up on the map and join the coalition.

How Do We Get to 5%?

It's coalition math. If enough households reduce by enough, the whole route hits 5%. Play with the numbers.
