One Day. Many Communities. A World of Difference.
A little over 2 years ago georeyna a geocacher in Houston, TX asked a simple question - What could happen if geocachers around Texas came together on one day to make their communities cleaner? Based on that simple question, Texas Geocaching Association (TXGA) created an event named CITO Across Texas in conjunction with World Cleanup Day. Geocachers throughout Texas held cleanup events on the third Saturday in September. Each event is locally organized, but together they became part of something much bigger. CITO Across Texas was born!
The results have been tremendous. During 2024 and 2025:
• More than 50 CITO events were held across Texas.
• More than 700 volunteers participated.
• Thousands of pounds of trash were removed from parks, trails, waterways, neighborhoods, and other public spaces.
In 2026, we want to take the next step and we are inviting the worldwide community of geocachers to help clean up our game board.
Lets join in and make a difference right here.
I noticed this lovely bushland area has become a bit of a dumping ground of late and could do with a good clean up, so why not come along, roll up your sleeves and help make a difference. Its a great way to look after the environment and contribute to community. Dont worry, there will be no need to push or shove, there is plenty of rubbish here for everyone.
I will bring along a trailer, heavy duty plastic bags and some gloves but if you have your own, please bring them to save even more waste. Dont forget to pack appropriate attire for the weather and the bush setting too. Access is via Collins Street and is suitable for 2wd vehicles.
This event is registered with Clean Up Australia so in addition to posting a will attend it would be great if you could register for it at https://register.cleanup.org.au/s/107247/129242 as well.
