This morning, Marj, Sandy and I went geocaching in the Park Creek Watershed. We found two of the three we were looking for and got a bit muddy in the process. I ended up with a flat tire to boot. We had a good time and noticed a lot of trash. This gave me the idea to have a cache in - trash out event. I have contacted the Horsham Parks Department to find out a date that we could use the Limekiln entrance to Kohler Park for a clean up event that will not conflict with soccer games.
A Cache in Trash Out (CITO) event brings in geocachers who help clean up an area, and are rewarded by being able to locate several geocaches. I would also like to have some prizes for farthest away to attend, most trash collected, etc. . I plan on trying to contact local businesses to provide some type of sponsorships in either food, water or cache prizes.
If you are a business in the Horsham, Warrington, Montgomery Township area and are interested in providing a sponsorship of some sort, please email publicity@parkcreek.org
As this develops, more details will follow.

Excellent idea. Too many people just see trash and are either disgusted by it or ignore it. Not many do as you did and say let's do something about this. Nicely done.
