Toothbrushes, shoes and even a refrigerator — Jennifer Lee has encountered all manner of rubbish while cleaning East Coast Park's beaches.
Equipped with a litter picker and large rubbish bags, Lee, who is originally from the US state of Indiana, collects as much waste as possible as she makes her way across the beach areas.
Since posting her first vlog documenting her clean-up efforts at East Coast Park in October 2025, Lee has steadily gained support and praise online for volunteering her time to clear marine rubbish.
As of Thursday (Oct 1), the American woman has documented 29 days of beach clean-up activities on her social media accounts.
Across her videos, the most common type of litter washed up along the shoreline appears to be plastic waste, including bottles and bags.
On her 19th day, Lee came across a refrigerator, and the following day discovered what appeared to be a component of a jet ski.
As larger objects are difficult for her to dispose of, Lee mostly focuses on picking up plastic waste.
Not all of Lee's discoveries have been rubbish. On Day 26, she spotted a raft of otters swimming and eating fish in the waters off East Coast Park.

'We Singaporeans really appreciate it'
Lee's video series has been well received online by grateful netizens and has sparked conversations about the origins of marine debris.
"Thank you so much, we Singaporeans really appreciate it," one commented.
According to a recent self-introduction in one of her vlogs, Lee is currently travelling around Asia and will be leaving Singapore in about a week for her next destination.
"In the meantime, I'm going to try to do as much as I can," she said.
Lee added that the online support "fuels her each day to do more and more".
"I'm just out here trying to make you all proud, one bag at a time."
In response to comments, Lee also said she believes the majority of the litter is carried by sea currents to Singapore's shores.
Meanwhile, Facebook Subscriptions allows her to commit to filling up one or two bags of rubbish for every paid subscriber gained.
It appears that some viewers are also following in her footsteps.
"Thanks for the inspiration to start cleaning our beach one bag at a time," a TikTok user commented.
"Today's day three of me working on the area near car park C3. You're right, it's addicting! So satisfying to fill a bag and see less trash behind."
AsiaOne has reached out to Lee for more information.

牙刷、鞋子，甚至冰箱——珍妮弗·李在清理东海岸公园海滩时遇到过各种各样的垃圾。
来自美国印第安纳州的李带着垃圾钳和大垃圾袋，在海滩区域尽可能多地收集垃圾。
自 2025 年 10 月发布第一支记录她在东海岸公园清理工作的视频博客以来，李一直在网上积极参与海洋垃圾的志愿活动，并因此获得了越来越多的支持和赞扬。
截至周四（10 月 1 日），这位美国女性已在她的社交媒体账户上记录了 29 天的海滩清洁活动。
在她的视频中，沿岸冲上来的最常见的垃圾似乎是塑料垃圾，包括瓶子和塑料袋。
在第 19 天，李发现了一个冰箱，第二天又发现了一个疑似水上摩托艇部件的东西。
由于较大的物体难以处理，李主要专注于捡拾塑料垃圾。
李的发现并非全是无用的。在第26天，她发现一群水獭在东海岸公园附近的水域游泳和吃鱼。

“我们新加坡人真的很感激。”
李的视频系列在网上受到了网友的热烈欢迎，并引发了关于海洋垃圾来源的讨论。
“非常感谢，我们新加坡人真的很感激，”一位网友评论道。
根据李最近在一段视频博客中的自我介绍，她目前正在亚洲旅行，大约一周后将离开新加坡前往下一个目的地。
“与此同时，我会尽我所能，”她说。
李补充说，网络上的支持“每天都激励着她做得更多”。
“我只是想努力让你们都为我感到骄傲，一次卖掉一袋。”
针对外界评论，李女士还表示，她认为大部分垃圾都是被海流带到新加坡海岸的。
与此同时，Facebook 订阅功能允许她承诺每增加一位付费订阅用户，就装满一到两袋垃圾。
看来有些观众也效仿了她的做法。
一位TikTok用户评论道：“感谢你启发我开始一次清理一袋沙滩垃圾。”
“今天是我在C3停车场附近区域工作的第三天。你说得对，这工作真让人上瘾！装满一袋垃圾，看到身后的垃圾越来越少，那种感觉真是太有成就感了。”
