About this Event
Trash People exists to facilitate community connection and contribution in Chicago. Join us for a special SINGLES clean up & social - all genders, orientations & ages welcome! This special event is a fundraiser for Trash People to help us fund our ongoing neighborhood clean ups, volunteer fair & work at The Parlor.
What to expect:
- We'll meet by the Greetings from Chicago sign at 10.30am - please arrive no later than 10.35am to check in and join our welcome & saftey briefing.
- We'll pick up trash until around 11.30am, at which point we'll head back towards our meeting point to hand back supplies, high five each other and close out.
- After the event, join us for a social hour at the awesome Pilot Project brewing, who will also kindly be donating a portion of sales to Trash People. Yay!
- Please note that our events are weather dependent. Keep an eye on our Instagram (@trashpeopleoflogansquare and @meetirlco) and your emails for event updates, as we will cancel the night before if weather looks bad.
- 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.
- If you have a grabber, gloves, spare trash bags, or a bucket, it'd help us if you bought it along! If not, no worries - as long as you've RSVP'd, we'll have spares for you :)
- 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 :)
- For safety reasons, our events are adult-only (18+). We'll consider opening this up in future, but for now we appreciate your understanding.
