Please join us for the 2026 CITO Across the World and the International Coastal Cleanup. We'll be partnering with Washington State Parks and Olympia Surfrider for this international event. Participants will spend 1-1/2 hours picking up trash on the beach and then bring it back to the meeting point. Trash pickers and buckets will be provided by Surfrider. Check in at the Surfrider tent at 10:00am and head out to the beach to pick up trash. Discover Pass required.
Bonus: You'll earn the Season 2 CITO souvenir if you haven't already got it.
About CITO Across the World:
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 have taken the next step and are inviting the worldwide community of geocachers to help clean up our game board.
