I bought jelly bean rocks, I crushed OREOs, and I used the same toppings for the pudding cups to make it look like trash had spilled out of the back. I used a small wooden garbage truck we had and decided to deck it out sanitation style. It went along perfectly with the Compost Pudding Cups. I used a homemade cake recipe, and dressed it up a bit. The cake was something that was actually easier than I expected. I bought small cellophane bags and filled them with Swedish fish, small rock candy, whoppers, and of course some sour gummy worms. The kids were thrilled with our “Trashy Treats”.

We served “Sanitation Subs”, Filthy Fruit, Compost Pudding Cups, and some more yummy treats. Of course we wanted it to all tie in to our Garbage Truck theme. My husband and I had tons of fun figuring out what to serve at the party. It ended up being a great way to enclose the backdrop for the food table. I cut newspaper into small squares and then strung it onto some bakers twine. I found a black and white striped backdrop and then made a HUGE newspaper garland to rim the outside. Don’t forget the trash bags! Stuff them with some newspaper for a more authentic look. I covered old boxes in newspaper to add some height to the display. I used metal trash cans, and found some trash signs off Amazon that worked perfectly. The food table was the most fun to design! I kept the general green, black, white, newspaper, and garbage trucks as the theme running throughout the whole party. It saves time and hassle, and lets the parents make their own plates while the kids are eating! When hosting a party for little ones, it works well to have food prepackaged and ready to go. This is actually one of my party secrets. I bought little plastic containers ( which I have used multiple times), and added a cute tag to the top. One of my favorite parts of the whole party were the lunch containers. I bought some cheap chargers and covered them in newspaper with green paper plates for my little guests to dine on. I used them for a 1950s party, a Star Wars party, and probably ten other events! I know it sounds a bit crazy, but it needed to match the decor! The black and white striped table runners are one of my favorite purchases. And I wanted the flowers to look like wildflowers and weeds. I glued mini trash bags inside and coming down the corners, and attached little bugs around the cans as well. It kept the costs minimal and makes it super authentic, and YAY for Mother Earth! Recycle, Reduce, and Reuse!įor my centerpieces at the dining tables I used mini orange cones, a metal “L” for my son Levi, and created some funky vases out of tin cans. And I actually fell in love with the idea of using these things to decorate. I started collecting newspapers, old soda bottles, tin cans, and anything else that could be repurposed for decor.

This party was the biggest stretch for me. The Ultimate Trash Bash Garbage Truck Party is perfect for garbage truck lovers, for Earth Day, and for any kid that likes to get down and dirty!

He is also one of those kids that locks in on something he loves, and that is his thing.
