By bringing people together to TALK TRASH, we hope to continue to build a community of individuals, organizations, and companies that are dedicated to developing environmentally responsible solutions to urban waste management.

Many of our events are pitch competitions, with a cash prize for the winner! Please see calendar for more details.

 

Talk Trash City PITCH COMPETITION:

  • Each Talk Trash City event will comprise of 4-5 presentations, (given in pecha kucha format), to a panel of expert judges and guests in attendance

  • After each ~5 minute presentation, the judges will comment on the presentation and have an opportunity to ask questions

Additional features of Talk Trash City events:

  • Each Talk Trash City event will have a specific waste-related theme (like technology, organics, waste reduction, etc.) - the themes will be dictated by the presenter applications that we receive

  • These events are meant to be fun and educational, and there will be time for networking with friends and colleagues
