How it works
Community observations are reviewed before they count. Exact business locations and photographs stay private unless the owner approves public recognition. Sponsored improvements require site permission and project funding.
See the Program Process →Temecula 500
Our flagship pilot aims to document 500 unique commercial dumpster locations through community observations and private verification. We’re recruiting participants—not claiming 500 completed sites.
Coming November 2: Temecula and Franklin, Tennessee are preparing a friendly Race to 500. See the two-city campaign and current launch status. The verified race and sponsor-funded prizes are not yet open.
