Trash Talkers...

 
 
  • Educate & surprise

  • Promote & encourage recycling

  • Make throwing away the trash fun

  • Keep a cleaner park

Trash Talkers look and function like ordinary containers but with a twist:

They talk and their "mouth" flap moves with the sound!

The Probotics America Trash Talker is programmed to play 25 different comments, either at random intervals or when triggered by the insertion of trash. There is the option to add 25 additional comments for only $39.95 and custom messages and multiple language messages are also available.

"Thanks for keeping things clean!"

"Good job!"

"Burp!"

"Put your trash right here"

"Hey, is that recyclable - I really like recyclabe stuff"

Some ways to use the Trash Talker:

Stealth & Scavenger Hunt: Have the Trash Talkers set up to be indistinguishable from your existing containers. No one will know which one will talk and which will not. This is even more entertaining when you challenge guests to find all the talking ones as they have to trigger them to know if they talk, and that means putting in trash. The messages can be part of te hunt -- giving hints, comments on exhibits or teaching recycling.

Distributed Approach: Set up Trash Talkers in several areas to talk about what is nearby, or happening that day, or recycling in general. Each area and each day can have a different set of messages. This is a solid mid-range approach as it uses our standard containers and still provides customization at a vry reasonable cost.

Focused Approach: Make just one or two containers talk and place them near other recycling exhibits or recycling points to emphasize the message and attract people to the area. A nice low-cost option that extends the reach of the exhibit deeper into the crowd and makes it more memorable.
