NORTH PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — A Philly nonprofit is gearing up for a test on a big stage!
Last year, Block by Block participated in a challenge to collect more litter than their competitor across states.
This challenger just so happened to be the city of Chicago.
Volunteers in Chicago and Philly both organized events to see who could collect the most trash.
While both cities collected hundreds of bags last year, Chicago won by thin margins.
This year, Chicago returns to defend the crown, and a third challenger joins them: Los Angeles.
