Frontline turns collective action into a live map. Join a campaign near you, log your actions, and watch your neighborhood's impact grow in real time, all tracked on a live map you can explore alongside everyone else taking part. The flagship campaign, Trash War, turns neighborhood cleanup into a citywide competition. Log a contribution by dropping a pin, using GPS or entering it manually, and recording bag counts or pounds collected, or trace a route you walked and back it up with a photo. Spot trash that needs attention? Report it with a pin and photo, then claim the report yourself, submit before-and-after photos, and turn the cleanup into a logged contribution. Track geographic stats for your neighborhood, zip code, or borough as collective progress builds over time. Beyond solo contributions, Frontline connects you to the people doing this work around you. Find group-hosted cleanup events near you and RSVP, then check in on-site with GPS or a join code, no app fumbling required. Afterward, see who showed up, what got logged, and photos from the day. Join or start a group with your block, school, or community org, compete together on the leaderboard, coordinate events, and track your group's total impact. Local businesses back the effort too. Redeem your points for real offers from partner businesses near your campaign. Partner rewards are currently focused on the New York City area, with more markets planned as Frontline expands. Track your points, bag counts, and pounds collected against milestone ladders, and see your personal history and where you rank. Collective action starts with one pin on the map. Frontline is free to use. Location access is used to log contributions accurately and show you nearby activity, and you control when it's shared. Camera and photo access are only used when you choose to attach a photo to a cleanup or report.
