We bring neighbors together over a shared care for community.

Since 2022, we’ve hosted over 130 neighborhood clean ups designed to bring together neighbors over a shared care for community. Our grassroots collective has powered over 10,000 volunteer hours spent cleaning up Chicago neighborhoods, gathering countless bags of litter and building lasting relationships between community members.

Join us at an upcoming event

Trash People hosts regular hyper-local community clean ups in Logan Square, Lakeview, Humboldt Park & McKinley Park.
