Trish Trash was born from the vision of Trish Barron, a Certified Perioperative Nurse, who recognized the critical gap in the recycling of medical supply packaging.

As a Florida-based, not-for-profit organization, we are dedicated to transforming clean medical waste management from an obligation into a commitment to sustainability excellence. By linking recycled materials to carbon credits, we will provide a transparent and accountable recycling process that benefits both the environment and your facility.

Our Story

Trish Trash was founded on the belief that one person can make a significant difference.

With over 38 years of experience in healthcare, our founder witnessed firsthand the sheer volume of medical supply packaging and materials and the critical need for sustainable recycling solutions in healthcare. She saw a gap in accountability and the potential to transform clean medical materials and packaging into reusable resources.

Motivated by these insights, she founded Trish Trash in 2020, a grassroots, Florida-based, not-for-profit organization dedicated to creating a transparent and responsible recycling process.

Today, Trish Trash is a team of passionate advocates committed to environmental stewardship and community engagement. Our journey is one of commitment, innovation, and a relentless drive to improve the way we manage medical waste. At Trish Trash, recycling is not just a process but a promise to create a cleaner, greener future.

Our mission is simple: to inspire and empower people to recycle, reduce waste, and protect our planet.

Trish Trash is more than just a recycling service—we're a community of passionate individuals working together to make a positive impact. By linking recycled materials to carbon credits, we will soon provide a fully transparent and accountable recycling process that benefits both the environment and your facility and community.
