Measure the work. Show the proof.
Adopt-A-Dumpster™ is being built to document improvement from the field forward. The impact story starts with verified site evidence, grows one completed project at a time and stays tied to StormwaterIQ™ records.
Illustrative program composition. Actual sites will use their own documented before-and-after records.
Pilot registry snapshot (under verification)
These are preliminary internal registry counts. They can include demonstration, test, and unreviewed submissions. Do not interpret them as completed cleanups, independently verified environmental impact, municipal partnerships, or sponsored installations. The earlier 29-site StormwaterIQ™ field study is summarized separately below.
Pilot-feed site and observation counts are shown separately; staff reconciliation is still needed before claiming a final verified unique-site total.
29 commercial dumpster enclosures inspected.
In the first StormwaterIQ™ field study, all 29 inspected enclosures scored Severe Non-Compliant under the program’s internal risk scoring.
That result is the starting signal, not a claim that every property or every city looks the same. Individual properties are kept private unless an owner chooses public participation.
The score is an internal program risk score, not a municipal compliance determination.
Illustrative public progress card. Public reporting uses zones and aggregates before owner opt-in.
A site record should tell the story from identification through upkeep.
Site Condition
Photos, enclosure configuration, cover condition, gates and field observations.
Estimated Rain Exposure
Estimated gallons of rainfall landing on the exposed footprint using the program’s published runoff formula.
Completed Improvement
What was installed or corrected, when it happened and the before-and-after documentation.
Ongoing Status
Owner self-inspection or StormwaterIQ™ documentation can help keep the record current over time.
Illustrative recognition certificate from the current program asset package.
Give sponsors a record they can actually use.
The Adopt-A-Dumpster™ Environmental Impact Certificate is being developed as a program-issued record backed by StormwaterIQ™ documentation. A completed certificate can carry a unique ID, sponsor name, project scope, issue date, before-and-after proof, estimated stormwater impact and maintenance status.
Multi-site sponsors can roll certificates into annual portfolio summaries for sustainability, ESG, CSR, stakeholder and community-impact reporting.
It is not a carbon credit, renewable energy credit, regulatory compliance certification or independent third-party assurance unless specifically stated.
Publish measured results separately from pledges.
As pilots mature, the program can publish a short annual public report showing measured lid-closure rates, active Creek Partners, residents reached and zones showing the most improvement.
Public numbers stay aggregated. Owner-specific information remains private unless the owner opts in.
If we cannot document it, we do not count it.
That rule applies to installations, sponsor recognition, runoff estimates, participation metrics and every future impact claim on this site.
Help create the first documented success stories.
The program is at the point where owners, sponsors and cities can help turn the pilot model into measured local results.
