Waterway litter removal isn’t easy—it’s messy, underfunded, and often overlooked. But for Don Bates, founder of Osprey Initiatives and inventor of the Litter Gitter, that’s exactly why it matters. In this episode, we explore how Don has built a mission-driven company that thrives by embracing the suck—transforming neglected urban streams, engaging underserved communities, and revolutionizing recycling in regions where systems are broken or nonexistent. With deep Southern roots and over 25 years of environmental consulting experience, Don shares how passion, persistence, and process are changing the way we tackle litter and drive circular solutions in the places that need them most. From repurposing event waste at the Super Bowl to bringing recycling infrastructure to towns with no curbside pickup, his team is proving that real innovation doesn’t wait for perfect conditions—it builds in spite of them. This is a story about legacy, leadership, and why the hardest problems are often the most worth solving.
