Listen up, Colorado Springs adventurers! If you're tired of seeing our stunning trails and waterways ruined by litter, it's time to join forces with Richards Rubbish Roundup (R3)! 🌿🗑️

This community-driven nonprofit (founded by local steward, business owner, and former city councilman Richard Skorman) is on a mission to keep our great outdoors pristine. But they can't do it alone – they need YOU!

Imagine this: you're hiking through our picturesque landscapes, breathing in the fresh mountain air, when suddenly you spot a discarded plastic bag. Or worse, piles of trash polluting our precious Fountain Creek. 😔 It's not just an eyesore; it's a threat to our ecosystem and the health of our community.

That's where R3 comes to the rescue. 🦸‍♂️ They arm you with all the essential tools to safely tackle litter – gloves, pickers, trash receptors, and even whistles to alert the team of any potentially hazardous materials. Your safety is their top priority, and with strict protocols in place, you can focus on making a difference while R3 ensures your volunteer experience is as secure as it is rewarding.

R3 works hand in hand with local authorities, non-profits, and public agencies to streamline cleanup efforts and swiftly tackle any issues that may arise, all while keeping the well-being of volunteers and the community at the forefront of their mission.

And that's not all. R3 also has a 📞 HOTLINE (719-238-1161) for reporting areas that need extra love and attention. It's like having a direct line to litter-fighting heroes!

So, whether you're a solo eco-warrior or part of a group, R3 invites you to join their weekly Tuesday cleanups or organize your own neighborhood trash-busting event, with their help. Not only will you be making a tangible difference in our environment, but you'll also meet new friends who share your love for the great outdoors.

Don't let litter ruin our natural wonders – join Richards Rubbish Roundup movement today and help lead by example! Together, we can keep Colorado Springs clean, healthy, and beautiful for generations to come. 😊

Explore rewarding volunteer options and be part of something meaningful. Together, we can make an impact!

As TSA employees at the Colorado Springs Airport continue working without pay during a government shutdown, the local community is stepping up to help. The Chamber and EDC is organizing donations of $20 gift cards and meals for the affected workers, who have been unpaid since mid-Feb. This effort highlights the personal impact of the federal shutdown on local families and the community's response to support them.

If you want to help, drop off gift cards at:
