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.

LIST OF PARTICIPATING EVENTS
Every Event Matters
You do not need to organize a massive cleanup to make a difference. An event with 5 people cleaning a neighborhood park is just as much a part of this effort as an event with one hundred volunteers.
Together, we can turn dozens of local CITO events into one powerful worldwide statement:
CITO 2026 Season 2
The posted coordinates will lead you to the intersection of School and Asheville School Roads, where there is roadside parking. There is also parking close to the intersection of Bear Creek and School Road. I will be parked at the posted coordinates with trash bags and to take your bags to the dump.
I have adopted this road for WNC Geocachers to hold CITO events throughout the year
Come help clean the road to represent the geocaching community! It is coordinated with the citizens and Homeowners Association, so there will be help from the neighborhood!
Please message me with any questions. Hope to see you there!
