"ALL THAT TRASH"

All That Trash is a live environmental education assembly that teaches elementary school students about recycling, waste reduction, conservation, pollution prevention, and environmental responsibility. Through music, comedy, and audience participation, students learn practical ways to reduce waste, recycle correctly, and protect natural resources.
Written in consultation with recycling engineers across Southern California, this show offers accurate, practical content that supports your school’s environmental goals and aligns with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
