Announcement: WasteNot Compost partners with Trash People.
Trash People are delighted to announce WasteNot as our sustainability sponsors for 2026!
WasteNot’s sponsorship of our work has come at a critical time, when it is harder than ever to secure funding for grassroots community work. This contribution will allow us to continue to grow our community programming throughout 2026.
We’re excited to host more clean-ups, add more Trash People groups in neighborhoods around the city, and continue our work supporting other non-profits and mutual aid groups through The Volunteer Fair and The Parlor.
WasteNot and Trash People will be co-hosting a variety of cleanups and events throughout 2026 including a free compost giveback event during International Compost Awareness Week in May to promote Chicago’s circular economy - keep your eyes peeled for more announcements coming soon!
