Sick of the stink volunteers take on Venice’s trash problem together

There’s no denying it: sections of Venice are certainly stinky, and during the pandemic the neighborhood’s trash problems have got worse with sidewalk encampments swelling and street cleaning occurring less frequently.
Fed up with the inadequacy of Los Angeles City sanitation services, a group of community volunteers have created a clean-up coalition to see if they can tackle the problem as a team. They hope to not only beautify the neighborhood but also gather data on street pollution that will put pressure on LA City Council to enact solutions.
