A team from Jacksonville’s Northside called Collect and Connect has won the second Jax Litter League contest.

The citywide competition challenges residents to pick up trash and beautify their neighborhood. The winning team, led by captain Susan Shinego, collected 227 bags weighing nearly four tons.

As a thank you for their feat, the team got to watch the Jaguars crush the New York Jets.

Keep an eye out for the next round of the Jax Litter League contest. Until then, you can rep the cause with this cute T-shirt from the city’s online merch shop.
