Founded by Key Biscayne residents Manny Rionda, Nancy Davis and James Duncan, #FillABag installs Fill A Bag Stations designed to empower people to turn daily walks into meaningful beach cleanups. The whitewashed 6’ post has 4 cobalt blue pegs and provides beachgoers with on-demand reusable bags and repurposed buckets to fill with trash during their strolls.

Fill A Bag works with coastal communities to bring awareness to the problems of marine debris, beach litter, plastic consumption, and pollution. Fill A Bag Stations, wooden posts with reusable bags and buckets at beach paths, are strategically installed near trash and recycling bins, where collected trash may be responsibly discarded. These stations serve to invite beachgoers to turn an ordinary stroll into a meaningful cleanup.

While the initiative was born and raised in Key Biscayne, Fill A Bag Stations have been activated in several Miami communities and throughout Florida's surrounding coastlines. Besides beaches; parks, neighborhoods, open and public spaces all qualify for activation. There are currently over 30 FillABag Stations.
Besides proving to be a gateway activity that engages people of all ages in eco-activism, Fill A Bag designs and implements K12 curricula, hosts small group eco-activities, produces corporate team building engagements, spearheads community activism, and collaborates with thought leaders and like-minded organizations regionally, nationally, and globally.
