Open to all Maryland residents 

Trash must be collected from public or permitted spaces only.

Use standard 13-gallon kitchen trash bags (or equivalent).

Each cleanup site must have:

    Before photo – showing the litter clearly.

    After photo – same location, visibly cleaned, with collected bags in frame.

Bags must come from actual cleanup sites , not random bags of trash from unrelated source

Safety first:  wear gloves, closed-toe shoes, and avoid hazardous materials.

Winners determined by total number of bags collected with clear before/after proof. Tie-breaker: most distinct cleanup sites visited.
