Plogging: Predicted to be the hottest socio-environmental trend of 2032 (Don't fact check this)
About this Event

Join us for Logan Square's most cherished (ha) monthly tradition: PLOGGING!

What is Plogging, you ask? It's a portmanteau of "Picking up Litter" and "Jogging". It's Swedish!

Anyway, it's simple: We'll meet at 5:45pm at the Helping Hand scultpure in Palmer Square Park to grab some trash and/or get a bit of cardio in. We'll do a short intro before we get started and then distribute all the equipment!

You can decide what you want to do: 1) Proper plogging (jogging and picking up trash), 2) good ol' classic picking up trash, or 3) just jog! Either way, we'll wrap up at Billy Sunday around 7:00pm and hang out afterwards! Stay for as long as you want!

This event is18+ (21+ if you want to hang at the bar afterwards). And remember: Registration is required by all participants!

See you there!

What to expect:

  • Meet us at our meeting 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 or so picking up litter. The runners/joggers will likely do about half of that!
  • 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, email us at [email protected]

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.
