Jessica Tweed of Tacoma’s Oscar’s Enemies never set out to build a movement. In September 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, Jessica asked her family to help her pick up litter in her Tacoma, WA neighborhood near Sixth Avenue for her birthday. What started off as Jessica and her friends having a socially distant birthday with grabbers, reused grocery bags, and her husband hauling trash in his truck has grown into Oscar’s Enemies. Oscar’s Enemies is a fully volunteer run organization that now hosts 18 organized litter pickups a year across Tacoma, WA and draws anywhere from 60 to 125 people per event. In this episode of the podcast, Jessica walks Marguerite through the surprisingly complex logistics behind each pickup. Routes are scouted by driving the streets of Tacoma, WA looking for litter dense areas, checking for safe parking for so many volunteers, abundant crosswalks, and accessible bathrooms. This scouting process alone can take two to four hours per route. Locations are kept secret until the week of the event, a lesson learned the hard way after early announcements led to the litter disappearing before volunteers arrived. WHAT A PROBLEM TO HAVE. The episode also covers how Oscar’s Enemies partners with the City of Tacoma’s Neighborhood Litter Patrol for supplies like bags, gloves, and landfill passes, and how the group collaborates with other Tacoma, WA organizations including Tacoma Trash Pandas, Tacoma Beer Week, and University of Puget Sound students. Jessica shares how the group keeps volunteers engaged with post pickup raffles featuring donated gift cards from local businesses, and milestone thank you gifts for repeat volunteers. Marguerite, (who joined a pickup herself ahead of this recording), and Jessica also dig into the deeper why behind the work: what litter reveals about a city, why so much of it comes from overfilled bins and unsecured loads rather than the assumptions people make, and Jessica’s advice for anyone in Tacoma, WA who wants to start something similar in their own community. Looking ahead, Oscar’s Enemies is exploring a possible partnership with the Washington Department of Transportation to tackle litter on highway on ramps and off ramps in 2026. Jessica Tweed is the founder of Oscar’s Enemies, a volunteer led litter cleanup group she started in Tacoma, WA in 2020 and has grown into 18 organized pickups a year. She lives near Sixth Avenue with her husband and has called Tacoma, WA home since fifth grade. Marguerite Martin is a Tacoma real estate agent and the founder of MoveToTacoma.com, a neighborhood guide, blog, and podcast helping people find their place in Tacoma, WA and Pierce County. She has been a licensed agent since 2005. The post Oscar’s Enemies Tacoma: Building Community Through Litter Cleanup with Jessica Tweed appeared first on Move to Tacoma.

Host Dave Jones sits down with Marguerite Martin — founder of MoveToTacoma.com, fair housing champion, and now part of the Windermere Abode family.Marguerite launched MoveToTacoma.com in 2015 when "niching down to one city" felt crazy. Eleven years later, it's one of the most trusted local real estate resources in the PNW.We get into why "what's the best neighborhood?" is a loaded question most buyers don't realize they're asking, how realtors literally segregated America, and what steering really looks like in 2026. Plus: handling Facebook trolls, civic accountability in a city small enough that everyone knows the mayor, and why Marguerite calls Tacoma "Shangri-La."
