TrashUre Hunt

TrashUre Hunt 


TrashUre Hunt is an international environmental organisation that aims to raise public awareness of environmental issues through actions, education and art. 

En el año 2000, a Ralph Groenheijde se le ocurrió la idea de TrashUre Hunt.

Los orígenes de TrashUre Hunt se encuentran en Costa Rica, donde estaba de vacaciones con su esposa y su hijo de 2 años. Mientras buscaba conchas en la playa, su hijo resultó estar más interesado en todas las tapas de botellas de PET que había en la playa. Al cabo de unos meses tenían más que una bolsa de basura llena. Eso iluminó a Ralph. De vuelta en los Países Bajos, caminó hacia la playa. En pocas horas encontró 6 bolsas de basura llenas de desechos. Se plantó la semilla, surgió la idea de buscar tesoros que no pertenecían a la naturaleza, y unos años más tarde la organización TrashUre Hunt se hizo realidad.

Fast forward to 2016, where through all the events that Ralph and fellow TrashUre Hunters put on, they took the opportunity to start the 95-day Summer Challenge together with the Municipality of The Hague. Due to the success at the end of 2016, Ralph and the team decided to transform TrashUre Hunt into a Foundation: TrashUre Hunt Foundation!



Trashure Hunt conducts a series of creative, sporting and musical activities like: Clean-up relays, craft days, Black Path promotions, music evenings and much more...

Summer Challenge 2023


Within their action entitled, Summer Challenge 2023, equipped with an extensive sorting table, one could pick up a TrashUre bag from TrashUre Hunt throughout the summer without obligation and dive into nature to look for treasures to save animals and earn Hero points.

For every full bag, participants received a TrashUre Hunt token.
Every Wednesday TrashUre Hunt organises the Trash & Art and the Trash & Skate Workshops, which are FREE upon presentation of this earned token.
