Upcycling can take many forms. Here are are some of the methodology and products we hold close to our hearts.

Dedicated Dirty Bags

These bags are what our organization was founded on. While out on the trails, we always found trash. Sometimes some really dirty trash, and also sometimes dirty treasures like fun rocks or trinkets. Most of the time we had to co-mingle it in our day-bags, but we knew there was a better way. We had an old tent, that over the years became unusable as a tent anymore, but we didn’t have the heart to put it in the landfill. We thought….”what could we turn this tent into, you know…to keep using it?” One day, while picking up trail trash, the concept came to us. “Lets turn the tent into dedicated dirty bags!!”

The fundamentals are simple. Use materials that would have become trash, to pick up trash. The concept and versions of the trailer trash bags have been growing ever since. We try and use as much of the tent materials and hardware as possible, and have come up with some really clever designs. From our small “Waist Basket’, to the medium sized “Bin”, and the much larger “Dumpster”, we are striving to make sure there is a product that can fit almost anyone’s needs.

Waste Basket

Our Waste Basket is where this whole endeavor started. This small and extremely light weight trail trash bag is perfect for every day use. It holds just enough waste for a small hike or a walk with your pet. With its velcro closure, and strap for attaching to a belt loop or leash, it keeps all trail waste hands free, and out of the way.
