Think we can top last year, South Side?! 🏆🗑️

A little throwback to the 2025 Garbage Olympics, when 100 South Side volunteers came together to collect 241 bags of trash, 15 bulk items AND 3 tires! 💪

Now it’s time to do it again — and maybe even beat those numbers. 👀

Join us for the 10th Annual Garbage Olympics on Saturday, September 19 from 9–11 AM and help South Side Flats take on neighborhoods across Pittsburgh!

🍕 Please sign up ahead of time so we can order enough lunch for everyone! Scan the QR code on the next slide for details and registration.
