Yesterday, Downtown Partnership staff took part in Richards Rubbish Roundup, a new volunteer-based cleaning effort in Colorado Springs started by Richard Skorman and the Poor Richard's team.

Since November, Richard’s Rubbish Roundup has been recruiting volunteers to pick up trash in Fountain Creek and beyond. Since they’ve organized, volunteers have picked up over 31,000 pounds of trash from local parks and waterways!

Volunteers meet every Tuesday at 4 PM at various locations. To learn more about upcoming volunteer opportunities near you, visit www.RichardsRubbishRoundup.org
