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 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 import CDs and DJ kits.

TRASHed looks to partner with large events (Concerts, Sporting Events, Festivals, Fairs and Conventions) and develop Recycling Store experiences unique to the event's audience. The key to our success is outfitting the TRASHed :: Recycling Store is to offer merchandise that fits within the asthetic of the audience.

By offering an enjoyable recycling experience, these people will begin to understand the simplicity of recycling and how to play a part in solving the problem of excess waste.

Past TRASHed supporters include ESPN X Games, Warped Tour, UN Environmental Day, Curiosa Festival, Voodoo Music Festival, Coachella Arts and Music Festival, POOL Tradeshow, Street Scene, Virgin Festival, AFI Fest, GVR and more.
