The city accused us of being the reason the parks are full of trash and litter, so to prove them wrong we leave the park more clean than it was when we got there! We tell every person who eats during the share to throw away their waste in our trash bags and we collect every piece of litter we can find that was there before we arrived and we throw it all out! Sometimes when we’re there the trash bins are overflowing from waste the city has not picked up and we clean that up! All of this is documented every single week, so try us.
