NORTH PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — A Philly nonprofit is gearing up for a test on a big stage!<\/p>\n

Last year, Block by Block participated in a challenge to collect more litter than their competitor across states.<\/p>\n

This challenger just so happened to be the city of Chicago.<\/p>\n

Volunteers in Chicago and Philly both organized events to see who could collect the most trash.<\/p>\n

While both cities collected hundreds of bags last year, Chicago won by thin margins.<\/p>\n

This year, Chicago returns to defend the crown, and a third challenger joins them: Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

For more information, check out the video above.<\/p>\n
