<div><strong>Pengweather + Urban Compassion Project Present: TRASHFORCE SUMMER 2025</strong>
</div>
<div>This summer, we’re launching TRASHFORCE SUMMER 2025, a bold and compassionate initiative to tackle illegal dumping across the Bay Area with heart, hustle, and dignity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Year to Date: </strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>300+ tons of illegally dumped trash removed
</li>
<li>30+ community cleanups from June 1 to September 22
</li>
<li>600+ volunteers engaged
</li>
<li>15 Homeless Ambassadors hired to maintain cleaned areas and report new dumping
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> Who We Are</strong>
</div>
<div>We’re teamed up. The Bay Area's cleanup legend and trash warrior, Peng, and the relentless force of Urban Compassion Project, are joining hands in a powerful yearlong collaboration to clean up the Bay Area faster, more efficiently, and with dignity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, we’re scaling up our impact with a yearlong partnership focused on speed, efficiency, and respect.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> Why It Matters</strong>
</div>
<div>Illegal dumping is:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Dangerous to public health
</li>
<li>Demoralizing to communities
</li>
<li>Disproportionately impacts homeless neighbors
</li>
<li>Detrimentally impacts small businesses and ALL our neighbors.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our approach is different -- we combine boots-on-the-ground cleanup with empowerment of homeless residents through UCP’s Homeless Ambassador Program, offering stipends and tools to help keep their neighborhoods clean.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> Impact So Far</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>175+ tons collected this year alone (2025)
</li>
<li>2,100+ tons collected since 2021

<div><strong><em>May 2025:</em></strong>
