All That Trash!
An engaging recycling and environmental school assembly for K–6 students
About the All That Trash! school assembly
All That Trash! is an exciting environmental school assembly that teaches elementary (K–6) students about recycling, waste reduction, and caring for the environment. Through music, humor, and audience participation, students learn how everyday choices impact their community and how they can take simple, practical steps to reduce waste and recycle more effectively.
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). It’s an ideal fit for Earth Day, science fairs, STEM initiatives, and ELOP enrichment.
