A rubbish origin story

It all began on a snooker table in the middle of Kieran’s garden. When a friend questioned why he was always collecting other people’s rubbish, he challenged Kieran to fill the entire table with discarded plastic bottle lids. Confident in his mission, Kieran reckoned a year’s worth of litter picking would do the trick.

Deary dumplings, was he wrong!

Because, just one month later, the table was covered with 1,603 lids producing a mosaic myriad of colour.

So what happened next? Did Kieran pop them all in a recycling bag for bin day? He did not. Instead, he created Rubbish Idea.

Rubbish Idea is powered by Rubbish Workshops for schools and corporates, Rubbish Art (formerly Rubbish Snooker) featuring lid mosaics, Rubbish Lists exhibiting littered shopping lists given stories, Rubbish Gifts displaying personalised photos framed in ring-pulls, Rubbish Shows for live audiences, Rubbish Finds collating treasure, and Rubbish Dates. That last one is just a calendar of events. Not Tinder tales.
