CITO Across the World - Toft St Playground, Dunlop
One Day - Many Communities - A World of Difference
Saturday, 19 September 2026 - 11am to 12pm
A little over two 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 was 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.
For this CITO we will meet at the Park at 11am, where we can then work our way around the park and the pond, collecting trash.
What to bring:
Gloves
Hat and sunscreen
Sturdy shoes
BYO rubbish bag or bucket - we will supply rubbish bags too
Kids and dogs are very welcome too.
Log your Will Attend and take a photo of your haul to attach to your Attended log.
Every bag counts and this year every bag is part of something happening in dozens of place at once.

At 12pm we pack up and head across the park to the bbq for our International Talk Like a Pirate Day event
