Our History
The original concept behind the Trashtag Project was created by Steven Reinhold, of North Carolina back in 2015, and it was simple; pick up any trash you find along a trail, park, or beach, take a photo of it, post it on social media with the hashtag trashtag and an outdoor gear company would send you a small token of appreciation.
In March of 2019, our co-founder, "The Arizona Man", shared a photo of a cleanup by an Algerian young man, Drici Tani Younes, and challenged "Bored Teens" to do the same. A few days later and several thousand of shares on FB, IG, Twitter, and Reddit, people of all ages, from around the world, grabbed a bag, and took to parks, beaches, public areas, and picked up garbage and dubbed it the #Trashtag Challenge; #basurachallenge, an ongoing challenge in Latin America, also regained momentum.
