BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Some of downtown Burlington’s challenges feel intractable, such as the number of unhoused people living outside and the public signs of substance-use disorder. Others, like the pervasiveness of trash and syringes on the streets, are less daunting to tackle. That’s exactly why Kason Hudman, 31, of the Peace & Justice Center launched a group called BTV Clean Up Crew.
The volunteer members meet at the top of Church Street every Thursday at 7:30 a.m. Since May, nearly 100 people have logged more than 400 hours cleaning up the downtown area.
