Refuse Refuse San Francisco

Be sure to check out our blog post to get some context around our purpose. Remember, all I am offering is the truth (about trash in SF) refuserefusesf.org/blog/f/remembe…

Right back at it with the McKinley Elementary after school program cleaning the Sunset Dunes again. A week later and the beach was cleaner than before, we only filled 4 bags instead of the 9 bags before. You mean cleanups work?!?! Great job kids and teachers!

Couldn’t ask for better weather for an afternoon beach cleanup with Sequoia Real Estate. 6 of us cleared 7 bags of trash in under 1.5 hours and left the already pretty clean beach and surrounding area absolutely spotless. Always more to clean, let’s keep it going ya’ll!

While many were protesting No Kings this past weekend in San Francisco, 500 volunteers were protesting No Trash in our environment, removing 525 bags of trash from our streets, parks, and beaches. Everyday is a great day to say No to litter pollution. Let's pick it up SF!

Kicking off the weekend in San Francisco at the Clement Street Happy Hour Cleanup! 50 strong thanks to regular volunteers, first timers, and Canvas Church who helps out every year for their Love Week community service. A buffet of 32 cleanups this weekend to choose from!

Out nice and early on this gorgeous day at Ocean Beach for a cleanup with students from Burke’s School. 5th & 6th grade girls fanned out along the beach and into Golden Gate Park to pick up over a dozen full bags of litter pollution. Adults can do it too, come out this weekend!

Back to back cleanups with students; small humans doing big things. New cohort of 6th graders at Millennium School went out & cleaned Jefferson Square Park. Group of 4/5th graders from the McKinley after school program met at Sunset Dunes to clean the beach. Anyone can do it!

Our regulars and new volunteer cleanup captain, a student from @usfca, joined the Richmond Library Cleanup and cleared 5 bags for trash from the surrounding area. Especially satisfying knowing that this place where so many children come to has a clean and safe environment.

Helped kick off the new cleanup & walking club with residents and staff of Human Good, a non-profit that manages several low-income senior residences in the Fillmore neighborhood. They’re now all geared up with the cleaning tools and will be going out 2x a month to clean!

This cleanup thing in San Francisco has really taken off! While many were looking up at planes this past weekend, 550 volunteers kept their eyes down hunting for litter and picked up 575+ bags of trash. Good vibes and clean streets created for all. Let's pick it up SF!

The Detroit Steps Mural Project is nearly complete, and we need talented hands to add the final bursts of color and detail. Join us the next two weekends—Oct 11–12 & 18–19, 10 AM–4 PM Upper Detroit Steps (between Monterey Blvd & Joost Ave) 📷 Sign up: tinyurl.com/ykyyppyz

Another amazing cleanup with the team from the @Apple. Employees from the Chestnut, Stonestown, and Union Square stores came out to the Mission and fanned out from @welcometomannys to clear 25+ bags of trash in a couple hours. 🙏🏽

The Crusoe team spent Thursday beautifying SF! 🌳 🏙️ As a proud member of the Downtown Volunteer Coalition, we’re creating a safer and more environmentally resilient city with awesome partners like @RefuseRefuseSF, @RecParkSF, and @SFPublicWorks. Let's make our city sparkle!

Had fun speaking about Solve SF at @OpenAI Dev Day on Monday.

Very successful Filbert Steps Cleanup this month thanks to our regulars, plus a group of a dozen volunteers from @Allisonww_. We spread out and cast a wide net bagging 15 bags of litter and making SF sparkle!

Back again with the Downtown Volunteer Coalition made up of companies like @Gap @LEVIS @jpmorgan @CrusoeAI @Visa @WellsFargo @CitizensBank and others doing good in San Francisco, including cleaning some messy areas of SOMA. They just keep on coming and bringing downtown back!

It's hardly a surprise to see over 500 volunteers come out this past weekend, strictly out of their own goodness, to pick up 520+ bags of litter at 32 cleanups citywide in San Francisco. Keep SF clean for those of us that live, work, and visit this amazing city!

We returned to Lincoln High School to work with their Green Academy class to plant these empty plots at the school. These students are learning to propagate, grow, and plant native plants, starting inside with plans to extend into the surrounding neighborhood.

Good morning San Francisco! Nice turnout nice and early at the Morning Coffee Cleanup hosted by Tastebuds on Balboa St in the Inner Richmond. 16 bags of trash hauled away by @RecologySF. 32 cleanups to choose from this weekend. Every day is Earth Day in SF.

Great work done by the Green Team from @BlackRock who came out again to clean the SOMA neighborhood around their offices. As usual, lots of cigarette butts, to-go containers, cups, and plastic litter. And also amazing results from picking it all up.

Kicking off our partnership with @YCDjobs to get out in the Bayview community to clean up. A dozen staff members spent their morning cleaning on the northern end of the 3rd Street corridor, filling 16 bags of trash. And we’ll be back!
