About this Event
Trash People exists to facilitate community connection and contribution in Chicago. We make picking up litter SUPER FUN, so our clean up events often fill up fast without giving a lot of opportunity for new people to join us. We're changing that with this special edition clean up designed for NEW TRASH PEOPLE ONLY!
If you've been wanting to join us, but haven't managed to reserve your spot in time - now's the time! We'll share a little more than usual about our org and the other fun things we get up to outside of picking up litter, and make sure you all have a neat time while meeting other awesome humans. Come join us!

What to expect:
- Meet us at 10am at Chiqueolatte (outside if the weather is good, inside if it's colder!) - please arrive on time to help us run a smooth event! We'll start the morning with a coffee social before getting going with our clean up at 10.30am. Please note advanced registration is essential due to the number of interested participants - please don't just show up!
- Everyone is welcome, and we hope you'll join us, especially if you haven't been before! We are a friendly bunch and exist not only to contribute to our community, but to make new friends within it, too :)
If you have any questions, the best way to reach us is via Instagram @trashpeopleoflogansquare. If you don't have Instagram, feel free to email us at [email protected]

What to bring
- Please do check the weather and bring appropriate clothing/supplies - specifically you may like to bring a water bottle, sunscreen, and hand sanitizer. Be sure to wear comfortable and weather-appropriate shoes.
- No need to bring anything else - we supply all equipment!
- If you want to bring a friend, please also have them register via the Eventbrite link so we can plan accordingly - we also need all attendees to acknowledge our waiver.
What not to bring
- We love pets, but you'll need both hands, and we'll be working near busy streets! We regret dogs aren't allowed to join Trash People events, but you're very welcome to show us pictures :)
- We mostly work near busy roads, so for safety reasons, our events are adult-only (18+).
- If the event is fully booked, please add yourself to the waitlist or join us for the next one! In order to keep the group manageable for us as organizers, to ensure we have enough supplies, and to ensure all participants have signed our waiver, we require all attendees to have formally RSVPd through Eventbrite.
