Log a walk

Before you throw anything away

Lay your finds out on a small tarp, in one layer if you can. When the photos are done, lift the corners and pour it all back into the bag. No tarp? The ground or a tailgate works too.
Take several shots from different angles. Straight down, from the side, and close up on labels. More angles help our photo tools count what you found.
Photograph anything you left behind where it lies, with your location on.
Then recycle, redeem, or toss it. Your job is done.

Town fills in from your location

How did you walk it? optional

Your photos

Pick them all at once. Photos stay with the Keep Maine Beautiful team. We never publish them. How we count your finds

The route was clean. Nothing to pick up.

Your finds several angles, up to 8

Anything you left behind optional, up to 4

Something that needs taking care of but wasn’t safe or right for you to pick up: needles or anything sharp, broken glass, an unknown liquid, anything in water, a full bag someone left, or a dump site with tires, furniture, or debris. Photograph it from where you stand, with location on, and tell us the nearest landmark under What did you see. We send it to whoever owns the spot. See What you leave

Photos we can share optional

Show us what you’re taking care of. A river, a view, a trail, or you and your walking partners out doing it. These are the photos we post on our website and social media. Photos of your finds stay with our team.

Your photos up to 4

Tell us about it

Your photos tell most of the story. If you want to add anything, tap the microphone on your phone’s keyboard and just talk.

What did you see? optional

What did you pick up? optional, and a rough guess is fine

Crew cards optional

Cards to hand to people you meet on your walk. We’ll mail them to you, free.

Yes, please send me Crew cards.

Rather send an email? Use our walk report email. It opens with the questions filled in, so attach your photos and answer each line.

Beautifully done.

Your walk is in. We’ll look at every photo, and your walk joins your town’s record. Thank you for showing up for Maine.
