Trash Wolf: Becoming Leader of the Anti-Litter Pack
Update: Earth Day 2026 Special To celebrate Earth Day, we are revisiting this conversation from the Tell Me What It's Like archives. Since this episode first aired, Trash Wolf’s "pack" has doubled in size, and his mission to clean up our communities is more relevant than ever. Listen to the updated 2026 re-release and celebrate Earth Day by becoming a part of the Anti-Litter pack.
If you want to bring attention to litter, what do you do? For one man in Florida, the answer was to ... put on a wolf suit. Since 2022, Trash Wolf has been prowling the streets picking up litter and quietly building a movement.
In this episode, he shares what inspired the wolf, what it’s like to collect literal tons of trash, and why his mission is really about awareness, community, and taking that first step.
Hear Trash Wolf talk about:
The Origin Story: What finally pushed him to put on the mask, and why it was a wolf.
The Philosophy: How cleaning up trash teaches us about the world.
The Call to Action: Why his mission is really about awareness, community, and taking that first step.
