Denver’s new trash pickup for two homeless encampments is hopeful step in right direction, residents say

“It’s upgrading our life; how we feel about ourselves.”

Georgina Anne Alberson, who goes by the name Twisted Angel, washes her blankets on the street near her tent at the intersections of East Eighth Avenue and North Logan Street just across from the governor’s mansion in Denver on Aug. 1, 2023. The city is beginning to provide orange trash bags for people at encampments, and will pick up the bags twice a week. Alberson, who has been on the streets since 2012, takes great care to keep herself and her belongings clean. She said it would also help to have port-a-potties and showers. (Photo by Helen H.
