Cache In Trash Out® (CITO) is an opportunity for geocachers to beautify and restore natural and urban spaces. Since 2002, more than 770,000 geocachers logged attendances at over 43,000 CITO Events that helped improve the outdoors.
Actions often speak louder than words; from collecting trash to planting trees, and all other kinds of CITO activities, when we CITO, we make our world a better place. We build community with our geocaching neighbors and leave our incredible geocaching gameboard better than how we found it.
The year 2025 was amazing! From finding legendary caches to following the journeys of trackables around the world to making friends at unforgettable Events, this milestone year reminded us why geocaching continues to bring people together through exploration and discovery. Every cache, every smiley, and every shared adventure added a new chapter to 25 incredible years of geocaching!
