Listen "S2: Episode 6 - Trash"
Episode Synopsis
When you live outside, there is no place to put your trash. It can build up and be an eye sore, but what happens when we remove the people living outside, along with the trash? In 2012, Denver residents voted in the Urban Camping Ban and since that time, the City has been implementing sweeps or encampment "clean ups." In this episode, we explore sweeps--what happens during a sweep and how people feel about them, the public and the unhoused. You will also hear about organizations like Mutual Aid Monday and Headwaters Protectors that are working to support people in encampments with meals, support during sweeps, trash pickup and sanitation support.
