OUR NEW DUMP TRUCK IS HERE! We are incredibly grateful to Robertson & Olson Construction, Inc., Matt Olson, and Jan and Steve Oliva for the donation of this truck to Share's Talkin' Trash program. The truck came complete with three, 20-yard containers, each of which can hold up to 2 tons of trash, and were purchased thanks to a grant from the Marie Lamfrom Charitable Foundation. This vehicle will greatly increase the efficiency of the program, which annually removes 226 tons of trash and debris from 60+ local sites. Talkin’ Trash employs six community cleaners plus on-call cleaners, each of whom has formerly or is currently experiencing homelessness. Under the supervision of Tony Colin, Talkin’ Trash Manager, team members also receive housing search assistance, general case management, and job and life skill training throughout their time in the program. #share #sharevancouver #sharevanwa
