Terrill Haigler aka “Ya Fav Trashman” is proving himself a modern renaissance man.

Haigler became an advocate during the COVID-19 pandemic as a sanitation worker, launched an app called Glitter with Milkcrate, and was named the 2021 Most Valuable Philadelphian by Billy Penn.

Haigler is publishing a children’s book called “I’m Cool Too” to show the importance of sanitation workers and change the mindset of litter.

Haigler launched a Kickstarter with a goal of $10,500 and to sell 30,000 books.

The book will be available in April of 2022.
