We're looking for a few good people


To help clean up the mess that's lying everywhere with a simple baby-steps program aimed at picking it all up, piece by piece, and making it fit for human gaze once more in my own lifetime.


So what does a Trash Man Walking actually do, and why?

— Simple... all you have to do is care enough about what you see around you everyday to want to pick some of it up and put it in bags for proper disposal. And why? Because it's the only sane thing to do.

Also, A) It can easily satisfy any Doctors prescribed basic exercise regimen. B) The native plant and wildlife will look and feel a whole lot better. C) But most importantly, your own life will actually be better for it because you won't be affected by the negative energy that this trash bombards you with subconsciously everyday wherever you go. Basically all we do is try to make things look nice again.

View these before and after photos to see the kind of thing you'll be involved with:
One - Two - Three - Four - Five - Six - Seven - Eight - Nine - Ten - Eleven

If this idea appeals to you, and don't mind expending a little of energy, please use this form to volunteer and get involved... If you can't spend the time doing it yourself but want to help in other ways, there's information a little further down just for you.

Generally speaking, we are looking for volunteers who are willing to spend time walking around with a trash bag picking up small amounts of wind-blown and dumped trash that is a blight on our landscape, especially around the native plants and bushes. Nothing more and nothing less is asked of you, however, help is also needed in other areas - click for details here. If you would like to help in these other areas, please tell us by checking the appropriate boxes below.
Yes I would like to offer the use of my own dump bin for trash deposits.
Yes I would like to offer the use of my vehicle for taking stuff to the dump.
Yes I would like to offer volunteers redeemable coupons for use in our business or other stuff as a way of thanking them for their efforts.
Yes I would like to offer refreshments that may be given to volunteers who do the collecting.
Yes I would like to offer other support. Please give details...
I understand and acknowledge that as a Trash Man Walking, my efforts may not be compensated for in any way.
Yes I understand and acknowledge. (Required)
I also understand that regardless of any lack of compensation, I will attempt to pick up as much trash as I can on the days I am able to for placement in supplied heavy duty black plastic sacks and deposit in predetermined locations.
 Yes I understand and acknowledge. (Required)
I understand as well that if at a future date when new sponsors for this project get involved and offer any redeemable coupons or other stuff to the volunteers, I will be assured of receiving an appropriate portion of whatever is offered retroactively for re-beautification work I have already completed.
When would you like your first mission?
 ASAP | Next Week | Next Month
(Required)
Actually, "Next Month" was a trick question... anyone submitting this form with Next Month checked won't even be replied to... unless next month happens also to be next week.
That's it. Now all you have to do is click the submit button below and we'll get you started.

Or... click the other button to forget it all now. But before you do that, take a few minutes to look at some of the gallery photos shown in our Trash Oasis issues #1 - #2 - #3 - #4 - #5 - #6, maybe you'll change your mind.
Yes, I want to be a Trash Man Walking
Forget it and
