One if by land, two if by sea - well, something like that! Barrel Bag first launched its beach cleanup bag back in September, 2018. Since then, over
6,250 bags have been distributed to members of our grassroots community who make pitching in a priority.. This community has made it clear that plastic and litter pollution may end at the shores and in our oceans, but the problem also begins on land, in our parks, near our waterways and in our neighborhoods. To better represent our mission of helping to eliminate litter pollution - particularly plastic - around the world, we are launching a redesign of our bag. Here is it for the first time! We hope you love it as much as we do.

The "Power of One?"
Barrel Bag recently became an approved non-profit member of
1% for the Planet.
This means member companies can opt to donate 1% of their revenues to Barrel Bag with confidence.
In 2002, Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, founder of Blue Ribbon Flies, created 1% for the Planet as a way for businesses to give 1% of their sales back to the environment-whether or not they were profitable.

Aw, We are Blushing...
The City of San Mateo, California marked the 35
th
anniversary of its Bayfront Cleanup with an incredible turnout from the community. Just over 1,000 volunteers showed up to clean our shorelines on Saturday, Sept. 21, 2019. In all, 3,500 pounds of garbage was removed from the natural habitat along San Francisco Bay. Volunteers also removed 20 pounds of recycling, all from about 1.5 miles of San Francisco Bay shoreline. To thank our volunteers, the City gifted 2019 participants with a uniquely-branded Barrel Bag. The bag became an instant hit with participants, each took pride in how it was made and that it spoke to their commitment to our shared environment.
