Show Notes
Pittsburgh hillsides are sorta trashy. There’s the usual culprits like beer cans and single-use plastics, but these impromptu “dumpsites” also have tires, doll heads, and even big ticket items like flat screen TVs. Caily Grube, executive director of Allegheny CleanWays, shares how they approach community cleanups, why it’s so important to take responsibility for our shared spaces, and how existential questions like “what is litter?” help her frame her work in Pittsburgh. Plus, learn about new ways to plug in, including regular meetups, earning badges as an Eco Scout, and the city’s Garbage Olympics in September.
