About us
Who we are
Trash Free Trails is a community- focused, non-profit organisation; a positive call to arms for riders, runners and roamers. We exist to protect our trails and the wild places they take us to and we’re starting with single-use pollution (aka; litter!).
Our mission is to reduce single-use pollution on our trails and wild places by 75% by 2025 and (re)connect people with nature through purposeful adventure.
We describe Trash Free Trails as “small-normous”. We are a young divergent organisation, adapting as we grow. We know where we are heading and have a plan and a whole bunch of projects to help us achieve our mission. We are doing this with a commitment to measure and share the difference we are making to our environment and our communities. This is achieved with the support of our partners, and importantly our Trash Mob, who are our volunteers found all over the globe.
In 2021 the impact of the Trash Mob on tackling single-use pollution was remarkable. A result that was significantly greater than the sum of our parts. A total of 1547 volunteers collected 4700 kg of trash, cleaned 4589 km of trails and removed 49,718 items. They did this by volunteering 3236 of their hours which is roughly equivalent to 4 1⁄2 months of donated time.
It is our job to continue to provide inspiration, information and tools for people to forge connections to the environment, to community and themselves.
