CITO Across The World

"One Day. Many Communities. A World of Difference.

A little over 2 years ago georeyna a geocacher in Houston, Texas, USA 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."

What is a CITO event?

Cache In Trash Out® events bring geocachers together to care for the geocaching game board: planet Earth. CITO events might focus on tree planting, litter pick up, or even habitat restoration. They’re a chance for geocachers to give back to their local spaces and communities.

Did you know, New South Wales has a geocaching association? Geocaching NSW aims to enhance and improve the activity of geocaching and holds regular events where geocachers meet to enjoy their common interests. Visit the association website
