Celebrate Triangle Garbage Week
Celebrate Triangle Garbage Week beginning Monday April 4. The week-long event features a celebration of everything used and discarded. Area television stations will air info segments throughout the week about the area’s history in garbage, including North Hills Mall (disposed of in 2003), the Raleigh Civic Center (disposed of in 2006) and Terminal C from RDU (disposed of in 2009).
Other events include the Raleigh White Trash parade (featuring the area’s largest motorcycle gangs and best strippers), the induction of the first class of the ACC referee Hall of Fame, and SPARKGarbage, a celebration of what we can do with garbage when we really put our minds to it. Citizens are invited to SPARKGarbage’s keynote event on Fayetteville Street where the world’s largest puzzle event will attempt to reassemble shredded documents from Governor Easley’s office.
Time Warner Cable customers will enjoy an entire week of garbage programming on Local Access TV, best viewed with the Scientific Atlanta Explorer HDC8300, the biggest piece of garbage to ever hit the consumer market. The week will conclude with a motivational State of the Garbage speech by Raleigh Mayor, Charles Meeker.
