About THE CLUB
Echo Park Trash Club is a group of community volunteers whose mission is to help keep our neighborhood clean. Due to the sensitive and complicated issue of houselessness in Los Angeles, there is a large degree of trash buildup around encampments in our city.
There is also a large degree of neighborhood debris that is separate from encampments.
Our mission is to step in where the city of Los Angeles currently is not, and to clean our neighborhood while treating the unhoused folks living here with the respect they deserve.
Echo Park Trash Club was founded in July of 2020 by Erin Fein. Today, it is a thriving group of civic-minded individuals who love the neighborhood. It belongs to everyone who volunteers and the Echo Park community at large.
