FoCo Trash Mob

FoCo Trash Mob FoCo Trash Mob works alongside national and international organizations to reduce Single Use Plastics (SUPs) by providing advocacy and actionable solutions.

We educate, encourage legislation, and nudge corporations to stop their SUPPY ways! Maureen worked for her County and City in Waste Reduction and Recycling for over 10 years. FoCo Trash Mob was an idea that came to her because:

She had many people approach her where she worked, waving their clamshells and exclaiming: “Why are you saying these aren’t recyclable? It says so right here!” ...pointing

to the chasing arrows with a number 1 inside them. She watched the documentary by Frontline entitled “Plastic Wars” and had steam coming out of her ears upon learning the history of how the plastics industry subverted the public’s outcry to their pollution. She mulled over the idea of what a “Flash Mob” might look like if it had an environmental purpose, and thought - “Hey, what about a Trash Mob?” At the end of which the crowd would disperse and mail back the same item to the same place at the same time. She imagined how quickly packaging would change to be truly sustainable if people just sent it BACK to the “parent company!” That’s where the collaboration with Break Free From Plastic began. They do annual plastic audits and encourage a send-back. Then Maureen recruited a few other angry “Mobilizers” to get this going. We hope you will join us in this simple act of defiance against all the trash we create, purchase and “throw away,” when we know there is no “away.”
