The Trash Project, a dance with 24 sanitation workers and 16 large vehicles of Austin Resource Recovery premiered on the misty Mueller tarmac in 2009. The documentary Trash Dance chronicled what it took to make trash trucks and workers dance on that tarmac and how hundreds of Austinites in the audience saw sanitation work and workers in a new light. Directed by local filmmaker Andrew Garrison, the film provides a special look at this year-long collaborative artmaking process led by Forklift Danceworks. Join Forklift and Austin Resource Recovery (ARR) for a family friendly event and outdoor screening of Trash Dance to celebrate sanitation workers and this one-of-a-kind dance. Audience members will also hear from ARR sanitation operators about their essential work and learn how ARR works to protect and positively impact our environment. - This event is free; tickets are required and will be released online in June - Seating is outside and picnic style, so bring a blanket and/or a lawn chair - Doors open at 7 p.m. and the screening will begin at sundown - Wear your face covering and be ready to practice social distancing - More details about speakers to come - Event to be held at Jourdan-Bachman Pioneer Farms
