Sioux Falls Green Project's Trash Talkers
Join the Team
We're looking for volunteers who want to green up Sioux Falls' festivals this Summer.
Trash Talkers help local festivals keep it clean and recycle like crazy. We also cheer on festival fans as they pitch in to lighten their environmental footprint.
And, there's only one way to get that cool Trash Talker tshirt.
Trash Talkers sign up in 2.5 hour shifts. The schedule for summer events and volunteer shifts are posted at the link below.
We're looking for anyone 15 and over who can lift 15 pounds and doesn't mind getting dirty for a great cause. Together we make Sioux Falls clean and green.
What are you waiting for?

JazzFest is on a green mission.
Trash Talkers get ready. We are excited to work with our friends at the Sioux Falls Jazz & Blues Society at this year's JazzFest, a FREE jazz and blues festival that attracts an eclectic crowd of over 90,000.
