Have You Heard of Trash the Clown? One Michigan Town Adores Her
Many Michigan cities and towns have individuals they cherish or dislike for one reason or another. One Michigan town adores "Trash the Clown."
Hometown Characters
I grew up in the small town of Holly on the east side of Michigan. Over the years I have been to many cities and towns across the state and have noticed individuals everyone knows of in town even if they don't know them personally. In Holly, it was a man everyone called F.B.I.
F.B.I. was a homeless man who claimed to work for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He had some wild stories and everyone in town knew who he was but he was a character to most in the community. A character in one Michigan community has captured the hearts of those who live there by their positive action.

Trash is a unique individual who loves her community and encourages others to take pride in where they live and do what they can to make life better.
Trash picks up the garbage, doesn't get paid, and when community members drive by they usually honk their car horns and wave in approval of her generosity.
Trash the Clown has a Facebook page with thousands of followers and her name is growing outside of the boundaries of Port Huron.
According to WXYZ, Trash the Clown put together the Trash Bash community cleanup on July 20th featuring live music. To hear and see more of Trash the Clown, WXYZ has a fantastic video here.
