About

Memphis Transformed has partnered with Overton Park Conservancy, Memphis Parks & Neighborhoods, and Volunteer Odyssey to bring a fun and impactful challenge in celebration of National Public Lands Day this weekend. With over a year in the pandemic, our litter production has grown by more than 200%. That means even more pollutants and trash are in our water systems, on our streets, and in our communities. We need your help, Memphis. We can reverse this trend together! 

We’re using a new tool to help us reverse this trend - Litterati. The Litterati app will help us capture more litter pollution data, create better prevention strategies, and allow you guys to track your impact! Can you pick up 50 pieces of litter over the weekend and document it in the app?! We’re giving away prizes to the Top 5 volunteers who accept this challenge! 

How to participate?! We’re glad you asked…

3. Pick up as much litter as you can using the app and have fun while doing it! Oh and be sure to tag us in those beautiful selfies: @memphistransformed #901LoveWhereYouLive #901LoveYourParkChallenge #MemphisTransformed

How do you win cool prizes?!

Using the data from the Litterati app, we will reward the Top 5 Contributors from the leader board so be sure to go for it! You have the entire weekend, challenge yourself to pick up more than 50 pieces of litter. Each winner will receive a $25 gift card to one of our local restaurants, 901 swag (t-shirt from We Are Memphis), a litter toolkit from Memphis Transformed (trash grabber, gloves, and bucket) to help you keep up the good work, and of course, the best gift ever, bragging rights!
