Recycle Runway
 Join us for the Second Annual Recycle Runway Fashion Show. All K-12 students in Bucks County and the Greater Philadelphia region are invited to use their creativity to turn recycled materials into fashion statements – all outfits must be created from recycled or re-purposed materials. Individual and group entries will be accepted, however, there will only be one prize awarded to the winner per category.
All participants will compete under one general theme for judging – Anything Goes! – with outfits made from 100% recycled or re-purposed materials. There will be five prizes awarded under this general theme, and two more additional prize opportunities will be available. Each entrant will be asked to complete a card listing the materials used, designer and model (if different from the designer). On the day of the event, models will also be asked to sign a photo release form; parental consent will be required if the model is under the age of 18.

 Project Runway
In a unique recycling initiative, Waste Management hosted the popular cable TV show Project Runway by opening a recycling collection center to the designers. The show's contestants were put to the ultimate challenge of designing an outfit using recyclable materials. Winning designer Laura Bennett, who created this dress from peanut sacks, achieved a design that looks like it could hang on the racks at a high-end store.
Waste Management's commitment to sustainability includes tripling the amount of recyclables we manage each year to more than 20 million tons in 2020. Our community outreach programs on the importance of recycling are just one way we are working toward that goal with local communities.
