Get TRASHed – recycling at festivals/events

Mira Bangel

Trash Recycling

TRASHed is an initiative by Global Inheritance.

This programme focusses specifically on events & festivals for younger people. The idea is to motivate the crowds to recycle an item that tends to create the biggest waste (in terms of volume) on most bigger festivals: Plastic bottles, cups and cans.GlobalInheritance sets up a ‘TRASHed Recycling store’ at different festivals and via visitors are able to get merchandize based on the amount of bottles & cans they bring to the store. A smart concept that seems to work (the programme has been running since 2004).
