Being involved in your local community is an important endeavor to pursue if you want to improve the quality of life where you live and work.
At Brightmark, we encourage all of our employees to volunteer and seek ways in which they can make the world a better place for all as we work together to Reimagine Waste.
No matter where you live or work, there are organizations that exist to help you show appreciation for your environment.
We’ve compiled a list of 50 organizations—one in each state—that are dedicated to keeping our environment waste-free, and each organization is looking for more people to get involved.
We hope one of these organizations resonates with you and that you can find a way to lend your resources, time, or any other special talents you may have to help us create a world without waste.
When you do decide to volunteer for cleanups, don’t forget to download our Coastal Cleanup Guide or Trash Tracker. These resources are created for you to gain an understanding of the waste you’re collecting and encourage your favorite brands to create environmentally conscious products that reduce the amount of trash that seeps into the environment.
Check out the list of organizations focused on cleanups below.
