Track your impact!

Clean Swell is awesome. Everything you need to track the impact you are having! They have updated the app to fix complaints from other reviews. You can add hundreds of items without tapping. And now you can see the animals you’ve helped protect by collecting trash.

Great app & fun activity!

I have used CleanSwell for many years when cleaning beaches and participating in the ICC. Love that you can click the items as you collect them. Makes it super easy!

Great app!

Super easy to use app, love that I’m contributing to citizen science and ending plastic pollution

Ms Abreu

As a teacher, this app is wonderful to help students realize that small efforts combined have real impact. Students can submit data on a field trip or on a family vacation. It’s important that they understand their role in this process, this app helps students tally and sort their data collections.

Excellent idea, should have apps for every terrain. The more accessibly to data the better the picture.
