The Trash Lab is a mobile exhibit designed to educate and motivate to create less trash and rethink our relationship with waste. Trash Lab features more than 10 playful interactive stations, engaging stories, and a wealth of data. Interactive and educational for children and adults alike!

Join hands-on demonstrations every hour! Our instructors will guide you through practical skills in a supportive environment. Bring your own supplies or use materials we provide. All skill levels welcome.

Alongside tours of the Trashlab, The Dane County Department of Waste and Renewables will also have live screen printing with one of their favorite sayings:

“Waste is not waste until you waste it"

BYO garment to print on (t-shirt or tote bag would be great), but don’t worry, they'll have some extras

DaneNet will be on site to collect donated laptops. DaneNet securely wipes and refurbishes laptops before distributing them to adults from low-income households so they can access employment, education, parenting, healthcare, or essential resources.

All collected technology is wiped, donated, recycled or resold in support of the Digital Equity Project.
