Richards Rubbish Roundup

Founded in October 2023

Inspired by Creek Week, former four-term City Council Member Richard Skorman founded Richards Rubbish Roundup, a local 501 C3 non-profit, to address the growing litter problem in the Pikes Peak Region. We are inspired by a deep commitment to regularly keep and maintain waterways, parks, trails, medians, highway exits, and other public right of ways free of litter. 

Our Mission

To make our Metropolitan area the cleanest, most litter-free and safest in Colorado. 

How?

We host Rubbish Roundups every Tuesday, weather permitting! Unlike laudable local volunteer efforts like Creek Week and the Great American Cleanup that occur once a year, our purpose is to regularly enlist volunteers to keep our Region litter-free as needed. Many areas will need to be cleaned on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis. 

Where?

Our roundups focus on highly visible public spaces, major roadways, highway exits, medians, parks (including dog parks), trails and open spaces with a special emphasis on Fountain Creek and its 54 tributaries.
