OUR STORY
It Started as a Passion Project
It Started as a Passion Project
CleanShoulder was founded in 2025 with a focus on the state of pollution rather than profit. What began as an idea in elementary school is now a working company with one goal: to keep California clean; permanently.
Our primary work is picking up trash and junk from streets, highways and public land. But we'll clear anywhere, whether on the roadside, a commercial lot, or your own garage. No job is too small and no mess puts us off.
After every cleanup, we photograph the before and after. Not for show, but because the difference is the whole point.
FOUNDER & CEO

"I've had the idea of keeping the U.S. maintained and clean ever since I was in elementary school. In a world where companies focus on stocks and financial growth, I carry this one as a long-term passion project."
I want to be a CEO who practices what he preaches. That means dedicating this company to real commitment and real change. I have full faith in myself and my peers to restore the U.S. to its cleanest state in the post-plastic era.
"Change first. Profit second."
