The Rubbish Game Too

Find out what happened at the previous Rubbish Game event: watch video.

What stops you recycling? Could you reduce your waste to zero? Come and play a new game of recycling households, refereed by ‘rubbish’ experts – and discover whether it's worth it or if it's just rubbish.

Please do both of the following:
- book tickets for the night by emailing tickets@danacentre.org.uk
- sign up for the advance game (and a surprise or two) by emailing tessa@rubbishgame.com

By signing up to the advance game, you agree to allow your contact details to be passed on to Coney, the organisers of the game. Your details won't be passed onto any other third parties or used for any purposes other than the running of the advance game.

Here’s how the Rubbish Game will work...

Everyone at your table is in your team and together you are a household – maybe a multiple-income-no-kids-yuppie-houseshare or an elderly-spinster-and-her-five-cats.

Every turn every household gets Stuff – from a new television to cartons of smoothie – which will turn into Waste unless you do something about it.

You might devise plausible ways to Reduce your household’s need for a bit of Stuff or to Reuse Stuff in original fashion – and if you’re in line to convince the judges in time, then great.

Otherwise you’ll try to Recycle your Stuff. But you need tokens for that, which you can earn from playing games in the Recycling Fair or from coming up with the best ways around the obstacles that are stopping you all recycle.

If all else fails, you can visit the Binman of Love and confess your filthiest secret about being rubbish at dealing with rubbish, and if he accepts your penance he’ll Trash some of your Stuff for you.

The winning team will be the one with closest to Zero Waste at the end of the game.

There will also be special prizes awarded by our experts, some surprises and possibly a visit by MacGyver

The Rubbish Game is devised by Coney and hosted by recycling queen Tessa Clement, lobbyist Josie Cook, activist Simon Newbury and motormouth Tristram Clark.
