Keep Texas Beautiful and the Houston Advanced Research Center are developing a central database to organize and store trash and marine debris data statewide. When completed, the database can be used by litter cleanup volunteers, cleanup site coordinators, or any other user to either input their trash collection data or view and download trash collection data. Analysis of this data is an important component of understanding the litter problem in Texas and its waterways, and therefore, managing it. The project is funded by the Garver Black Hilyard Family Foundation. H-GAC, the North Central Texas Council of Governments, and The Meadows Center at Texas State University are testing a beta version and giving feedback as part of the Trash Free Texas project. The database is expected to be available for use in June 2021.
