Event Overview

What looks like rubbish is actually treasure, and with your team, you can give it a second life! In this eco-powered adventure, you’ll embark on a thrilling scavenger hunt, collecting every recyclable item you find. Each piece of litter you gather is donated to our recycling partners, who transform it into beautiful, useful products.

Armed with GPS-enabled iPads, your team will navigate local streets and green spaces, cracking clues, snapping hilarious photos and tackling surprise challenges that bring everyone closer together. The recyclable treasures collected with litter pickers, hi-vis vests and sorting bags will boost your team’s score, and each item gets a second life through repurposing. At the finish line, your haul is weighed, your best moments shared and your impact celebrated. Victory goes to the team with the sharpest strategy, the most hilarious photos and the heaviest bag of recyclables. Each team building scavenger hunt is custom-designed to suit your chosen location, whether it’s a city streetscape or a countryside escape. We also tailor every detail to match your group’s size and preferences.
