We recommend assigning a volunteer or two to handle the tallying, while others do the pick up. This is a great job for youth in your groups or anyone who has mobility issues or for any reason would rather not pick up trash.

We have 2 options for you:

1 - Use the Clean Swell app on your mobile device.

Make sure your location services are turned on so the app can detect that you’re collecting trash in the Connecticut River region and be counted toward CRC’s trash totals. If you use the app, you do NOT need to also submit the trash tally form below.

• Download the free app from the Apple app store or Google Play. Make sure to allow location services while using app so it can detect that you’re collecting trash in the Connecticut River region and be counted toward CRC’s trash totals.

• Create an account and verify your email address.

• Tap ‘Start Collecting’ button and set your group name: “CRC – your group name/family name”. Please don’t delete CRC from the start of your group name and use the group name you registered with.

• Add each item, tapping the appropriate icon or using the comments feature to add any items not included in the app, such as nip bottles or furniture. NOTE: You can hold down icons to add larger quantities.

• When your cleanup is complete, click “Submit My Data” — the duration of cleanup time and total pounds will automatically be filled in.

2 - Download the paper Trash Tally Form to fill out during your cleanup. 

After your cleanup, enter your data online (preferred)
or scan and email to cleanup@ctriver.org or mail to: CRC, 15 Bank Row, Greenfield, MA 01301.  

CleanSwell users do not need to enter data online. Your data is saved automatically upon submission in the app!
