What we tell the person doing it
The doer can ask anything in the app and gets an instant answer from the deed itself. A few they ask most:
- What photo proof do you need?
- Send photo or video of the result. Rules: No identifiable faces. Photograph the place, items, or result, never a person. If a bystander is in frame, reframe or blur. Never depict anyone who appears vulnerable (e.g. unhoused, distressed, or a child). Capture a BEFORE and AFTER of the trailhead from the same spot. Show the bagged trash; stay on durable surfaces and leave nature undisturbed.
- How much do I get paid?
- This deed pays $15 for your time (a fair ~$18/hr for about 50 minutes including travel and proof), and $10 is set aside for any supplies plus fees. Payment releases from escrow once your proof passes review.
- Do I need to keep people out of frame?
- No identifiable people, ever. Photograph the place, the items, or the result. If someone is in frame, reframe or blur before you send it.
