What Does a Trash Pick Up Look Like?
Our groups meet on the last Saturday of each month at 10:00am. We do introductions, divvy out equipment and routes, and go clean up the neighborhood! Be sure to arrive on time or a bit early - we usually head out within 10 minutes of the meet up time. If you have your own equipment (bags, gloves, grabbers) feel free to bring them along but we have equipment available to those who need it.
At 11:15am, we meet back up to drop off full bags of trash, snap a picture with our trash bounty, and head to a local coffee shop for a central social hang with neighbors. If you have your own mug, bring it along so we can reduce waste!
