Apply to Join Pick Up America!

Looking for People to Join their Environmental Cause

HELP WANTED: Pick Up America, the nation’s first coast-to-coast roadside litter pick up, seeks travelers for our 2012 season across the American West.

Since the start our journey in 2010, we have organized over 270 workdays to pick up over 145,000 pounds of litter across 2,050 miles from the Coast of Maryland to Last Chance, Colorado. Along the way, we have mobilized students, concerned citizens, and communities to commit to working toward a zerowaste
future.

Stemming from a simple dream to “walk across the country and pick up trash,” our youth-led team has formed our own non-profit organization, built a home out of a bus and converted it to run on waste vegetable oil, spoken to over 7,000 students about conservation, coordinated countless community events, built four large environmental art projects, and even been on national news twice!

You can find all the details about our available positions on our website or in the document below. Please take a look and pass it along to anyone you think might be interested in this unique, transformative, and adventurous opportunity.
