Created by the Dane County Department of Waste & Renewables in collaboration with Madison Children’s Museum, the Trash Lab is a mobile exhibit designed to educate and motivate us to create less trash and rethink our relationship with waste.
Explore how and why we’ve created so much trash. RETHINK what we can do to create less. Dive into the science of trash to understand how landfills PROTECT our environment by managing the waste our society creates. And finally, help us REDESIGN a world where landfills are not thought of as disposable sites, but as important places where trash is transformed into valuable resources.
