After a neighborhood cleanup attracted volunteers from across Tucson, Arizona, a trash-strewn alley is getting a second chance. Organizers said in an Instagram post that more than 4,000 pounds of waste were removed and that the work is not finished.
What happened?
David Garcia, a local Tucson resident and owner of Barrio Restoration, shared the cleanup video on Instagram.
The video showed an alley so clogged with trash that it had become unusable before volunteers cleared it, making the space accessible again. In the caption, Barrio Restoration wrote, “Today Tucson showed up, people from all over came to represent.”
The group added, “Together we collected over 4000 lbs [from] this alley behind family dollar and La yoca.”
