FUNDING
While my wife and I have personally funded the bulk of the cost of the Litterbuggy prototype, we would greatly appreciate financial assistance to help offset the costs we have incurred in creating and shipping the Litterbuggy, as well as ongoing maintenance and operational expenses. A big thank you to all who have assisted us with funding, ideas and support!
We are currently looking for a trailer to transport the machine
to various cleanup sites - please get in touch
via the Contact tab if you can help!

We have also created a GoFundMe page for donations:

Note: You do not have to tip GoFundMe if you do not wish to do so. Click the "Custom Tip" link on the donation page to eliminate or reduce the tip.
VOLUNTEERING
If you are in the Cayman Islands and wish to help out with the operation of the Litterbuggy, please let us know via the Contact tab. Having extra hands makes shoreline cleanup much quicker!
OTHER WAYS TO HELP
While cleaning up plastic trash is vital, it is even more important to stop the problem at its source. Here are some things you can do:
​
- Reduce your personal plastic consumption. Use reusable grocery bags, refillable water bottles and coffee mugs. Store food in reusable containers rather than plastic wrap or plastic bags. Be conscious of the amount of plastic packaging used when selecting products to purchase.
​
- Reuse or recycle your household plastics
​
- Petition government officials to ban single use plastics.
​
- Educate the children in your life about the global plastic problem and engage their help.
