Our mission
Delete Litter is on a mission to rid the world of litter—we're crowdsourcing cleaner communities by encouraging everyday efforts that add up
Launched in 2025, Delete Litter is rallying a global crew of local heroes—volunteers who strive to remove 1,000+ pieces of litter from their communities every year—with the shared goal of deleting 1 billion pieces of litter annually by 2030

Litter is a numbers game
There are 35 billion pieces of litter in the U.S. alone 1
That's roughly 100 pieces per American
We got this.
The three pillars
Our approach to eliminating litter is built on three foundational pillars that guide every initiative and program we develop
Activation
Inspiring and motivating individuals and communities to take action against litter through awareness campaigns, events and educational programs
Enablement
Providing tools, technology, and resources that make it easier for people to identify, collect and properly dispose of litter in their communities
Empowerment
Building an ecosystem that recognizes and rewards positive community action, creating a sense of accomplishment and sustained motivation at scale
Founded in 2025 by Christopher Brenchley (CB), Delete Litter is a purpose-driven venture turning everyday cleanups into measurable, people-powered impact
After building and scaling multiple startups, CB is now focused on applying that experience—and personal capital—to help communities take meaningful action and see real results
The DL crew has deleted over 850K litter pieces and counting—with members representing 29 countries and 44 U.S. states
