One Product Purchased = One Pound Removed For every product purchased, we remove one pound of trash from our world’s oceans and waterways.

The “one pound” business is a tricky thing to visualize—a pound can mean 50 plastic bottles, or it can mean one-twentieth of a car tire. To us, it’s all the same. We team up with local municipalities and recyclers to fill our trash bags and rid the waterways of garbage that would otherwise end up polluting our seas for centuries.

Behind the scenes, our customers and volunteers are the ones making this happen. Our cleanups are funded entirely by the purchases you make, and as we expand our scope to higher-yield cleanups, we’re more and more grateful for a community that makes intentional shopping a priority.

T WO WEEKS ON AN ABANDONED ISLAND New!

A derelict landmark, a camera crew, and 96,100 pounds of trash Ancient appliances dumped long ago

“My first impression was that it was such a stark contrast—here is this beautifully wild, reforested island with a sparkling freshwater lake in the middle of it, and it’s littered with mounds and mounds of century-old trash.”

– Maria McDonald, UBB Cleanups Program Coordinator

Maria explains the island’s history

Lifting heavy industrial waste lodged in the ground 18

Last February, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection contacted our cleanups coordinator, Maria, seeking United

By Blue’s help with a large-scale cleanup. Burlington Island, a trashridden, 300-acre piece of land in the middle of the Delaware River, had long been a restoration project of the state’s, but they lacked the resources and expertise to get very far. After being used for more than a century for agriculture, an amusement park, a campground, and finally a dredging area, the island was banned to visitors in the 1970’s.

It was littered with the remnants of its past and thus declared unsafe.

“Burlington Island is the epitome of industry not paying for its actions— they just used the land and then left all their garbage to rot.”

– Alec Clelland, UBB Cleanups Intern

Following 50 years of abandonment, the state wanted to reopen the island as a recreation area. But first, it needed a lot of cleaning up—which is where we came in. Coordinating efforts with the public sector, private sector, and a nonprofit, our team organized a cleanup that would have a greater impact than ever before. Step one: getting an executive order from the mayor to lift the ban on the island.

After presenting to city council twice, our cleanups crew was given access. A quick kayak to the island presented challenges new to the team: nature had overtaken century-old trash. We contracted a barge, boat transport, heavy machinery and dumpsters and got to work. Tires had to be dug from deep in the ground, bedsprings cut from tree branches, refrigerators lifted from pits. But with the chemicals from ancient infrastructure and garbage leaching into the soil and river (which is a water source for 5-10% of Americans), time was of the essence.

300 acres

96,100 pounds of trash

In two weeks of long days and dirty work, we removed 96,100 pounds of trash from Burlington Island. It no longer looks like a dumping ground, and the city will move forward with its plan of eventually reopening it. The Burlington Island cleanup was a turning point for us: having demonstrated our expertise with such a large project, we’re broadening our scope to high-impact, limited access cleanups.

Which we couldn’t do without you.

15 days

This cleanup was entirely funded by purchases our customers purchased last year; while you may not have been on Burlington Island with us, shoveling soda cans from the 1950’s, you are the reason we’re able to do what we do.
