KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Organizers of a volunteer group that has been cleaning up trash across the Kalamazoo area have launched a GoFundMe campaign to purchase a truck to help them pick up more trash.
Ian Stewart, the creator and organizer for TrashLoveKzoo, a volunteer-driven community cleanup initiative, says every month they come together to tackle large-scale litter removal efforts throughout the city.
To make the work more efficient, they are raising funds to purchase a used truck specifically for transporting cleanup supplies like shovels, buckets, and trash tongs, as well as hauling away the trash they collect.
In the past, they’ve had to rent or borrow trucks for the trash pick-up.
TrashLoveKzoo began in September 2024. The group meets on the first Saturday of every month from 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.
