ABOUT
Born in 2004, the TRASHed :: Recycling Store is an interactive recycling center powered by motivated people who recycle their empty plastic bottles/cans collected on-site in exchange for cool free merchandise.
Items are available to all event goers who recycle their bottles at the TRASHed :: Recycling Store. Based on the value of the merchandise, people will be able to purchase items that range in cost (number of bottles/cans). In the past, the TRASHed :: Recycling Store has given away everything from autographed Beastie Boys skateboard decks and Smith Sunglasses to Motorola RAZR phones and DJ kits.
TRASHed has been featured at events ranging from Virgin Festival Toronto to the AFI Film Festival in Los Angeles, and has developed experiences unique to each event. A true key to our success is outfitting the TRASHed :: Recycling Store that is considered a premium to each event's audience. By offering an enjoyable recycling experience, the simplicity of recycling and how to play a part in solving the problem of excess waste is easily learned, and as a bonus, event grounds are picked clean of empties.
