Trash Free Trails (TFT) is a UK-founded global community dedicated to protecting wild places by eliminating single-use pollution from trails.
TFT's mission is to reconnect people with nature by motivating and educating trail users (including riders, runners and roamers) to remove litter during their everyday activities and through organised cleanups.
Through its "citizen scientist" program, members record the pollution they find. This data is used to produce reports like the "State of Our Trails Report," raising awareness and advocating for a trash-free future.

What started as a couple of separate community hubs on Sydney's north shore (Manly Dam and Old Man Valley), Trash Free Trails Down Under is a growing collective of trail users, organisations and events working together as a social enterprise to bring the Trash Free Trails philosophy to life locally in Australia by:
Please take necessary precautions, looking out for hazards that may include leeches, spiders, snakes, dogs, golf balls, broken glass, asbestos and other good stuff!
If you see single-use pollution that needs moving, but you don't want to be the one to move it, contact your local council!

Of if you want to get involved, have a question, seen some serious trash on a trail or want to talk about Trash Free Trails, just let us know:
Trash Free Trails Australia is based in Manly on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. We respectfully acknowledge the Gayamagal people as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which our community exists, a place they know as Car-rang-gel (North Head, Manly) and the surrounding region. We recognise their deep and continuing spiritual connection to the land, waters, and sea of the Northern Beaches. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
