Trash People of Ravenswood at Dovetail!
We'll meet at 2pm in front of Dovetail Brewery for a cute lil neighborhood clean-up before heading back for happy hour! 15% of your tab will be covered by Dovetail as a thank you for cleaning up the area. How great is that! 😍 It's also an a perfect place to celebrate a great first season for Trash People of Ravenswood! This will be our last clean-up of the year, but don't worry - we'll be back in 2027!!
This event is 18+ (21+ of course for alcoholic drinks at the brewery!). All trash clean-up equipment will be provided! Please note due to demand, registration is required by all participants.
See you there!

- We'll spend about an hour picking up litter before we close out.
- 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 :)

- 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.
