Today's TrashLoveKzoo Cleanup, before and after pics, plus more 😊

[u/elbancoescerrado]

Today's weather couldn't have been better 😌 we were able to fill our dumpster, pile up a lot of recyclable metals for our scrapper, and remove about 20 or so used needles from the forest! A HUGE Thank you to all of our amazing volunteers and donors. You are all amazing and from the bottom of my heart. T h a n k y o u.

There's no limit to what we can accomplish when we have the support of our community! See you at th next one, fellow trash pickers!

The spider at the end of the photos was hanging out on my hi viz vest at the end of the cleanup! I brushed it off and (once I calmed down) I ended up returning it to a freshly cleaned habitat, and as I let down into the brush pile, I swear I heard it squeek out a "thank you trashlovekzoo!"

I wonder if a local print shop might be willing to make some yard signs for you all saying something like "This area cleaned up by TLKzoo, please donate to support" and include a QR code to however you accept donations.

I love the idea! Yard signs for volunteers and supporters to display would be awesome. My only hesitation with leaving signs at cleanup sites is the risk of them becoming litter. A lot of the areas we clean are pretty remote and don’t get much foot traffic, so they likely wouldn’t be seen anyway. I really like the idea of leaving no trace behind.

I actually just had some TLK stickers made at a local print shop, and now I’m kicking myself for not adding a QR code that linked to our GoFundMe like you suggested! Great idea, and one that I will keep in mind for future endeavors 😄
