eCleanup Cleanup Map

The eCleanup map helps people find, report, and verify litter cleanup opportunities. It includes local cleanup reports, environmental issue locations, global garbage patches, polluted rivers, plastic leakage zones, and community cleanup activity.

Featured mapped environmental reports

• The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a vast, diffuse accumulation of plastic debris spanning an area roughly twice the size of Texas, drifting in the North Pacific Gyre between Hawaii and California. Coordinates: 35, -140. Status: open.
• The Indian Ocean Garbage Patch is a sprawling zone of plastic pollution in the Indian Ocean gyre south of the equator, stretching from the east coast of Africa toward Australia. Coordinates: -30, 75. Status: open.
• The Citarum River in West Java, Indonesia was once one of the most polluted rivers on Earth. Coordinates: -6.9, 107.6. Status: open.
• The Western Pacific Garbage Patch is the lesser-known sibling of the Eastern patch, trapped in the western arm of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre east of Japan. Coordinates: 35, 150. Status: open.
• The North Atlantic Garbage Patch accumulates within the North Atlantic subtropical gyre, a slow-rotating current system stretching between North America, Europe, and the Sargasso Sea. Coordinates: 32, -45. Status: open.
• The South Atlantic Garbage Patch circulates within the South Atlantic subtropical gyre between South America and Africa. Coordinates: -28, -20. Status: open.
• The South Pacific Garbage Patch spans a vast stretch of the South Pacific subtropical gyre between South America and Australia, making it one of the most remote accumulation zones on Earth. Coordinates: -30, -130. Status: open.
• The Arctic Ocean is emerging as a deeply concerning accumulation zone for plastic pollution. Coordinates: 78, 25. Status: open.
