BASURA BOYS & LITTER LADS: A Men's Mental Health Month Community Clean Up

Calling all Basura Boys & Litter Lads!!

Trash People exists to facilitate community connection and contribution in Chicago, and June is Men's Mental Health Month. Picking up trash with neighbors, getting outside and contributing to the community is proven to improve wellbeing, yet men are statistically less likely to volunteer than women - so join us for a special edition Trash People clean up especially for the fellas! Come meet other men who care and want to contribute in the neighborhood. We welcome participants to self-identify - if this sounds like the space for you, come join us!

We'll be joined by the awesome Chicago Gents who Stroll & Doom Movement - both awesome communities that support male wellbeing all year round.

This event is18+. All equipment (bags, buckets, grabbers, gloves) provided. Registration is required by all participants.

See you there!

What to expect:

• Meet us at the starting point! Please arrive on time to help us run a smooth event. Once we start the clean up, you may struggle to find us!
• Advanced registration is essential due to the number of interested participants - please don't just show up!
• We'll spend about an hour and 15 minutes picking up litter!
• 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 :)

What to bring

• Please check the weather and bring appropriate clothing/supplies! Consider bringing a water bottle and some sunscreen if it's hot!
• 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.
