Goodwill Partners with Keep Orlando Beautiful to Promote Sustainable Fashion at ‘Trash 2 Trends’

In a creative fusion of fashion and sustainability, Goodwill Industries of Central Florida is joining forces with Keep Orlando Beautiful to present the highly anticipated 10th annual Trash 2 Trends Fashion Show. Set against the backdrop of the Orlando Science Center on Wednesday, May 7, this unique event highlights the transformative power of upcycling while raising awareness—and funds—for local environmental programs.

Transforming Trash into Treasure

Each year, the Trash 2 Trends runway becomes a showcase for innovation, where more than 20 designers craft stunning garments from discarded, donated, or recycled materials. From old denim and sweaters to repurposed jewelry and packaging, these once-forgotten items are reborn as high-fashion statements. The event serves as a vivid reminder of how fashion can play a vital role in reducing landfill waste and promoting a circular economy.

As the presenting sponsor for this year’s milestone celebration, Goodwill brings its longstanding commitment to environmental stewardship and resource conservation to the forefront. By supporting initiatives that give second life to donated goods, Goodwill not only provides affordable fashion options but also diverts millions of pounds of usable items from local landfills each year.

Supporting Sustainability in Style

Proceeds from the Trash 2 Trends Fashion Show directly benefit Keep Orlando Beautiful’s green initiatives, which include litter prevention, waste reduction education, and urban beautification projects. The event blends art, sustainability, and community engagement into an unforgettable evening—all for a greener Orlando.

Tickets are $48 and include dinner and complimentary parking at the Orlando Science Center garage. Guests must be 21 or older to attend. This stylish celebration of sustainability promises an evening of creativity, environmental inspiration, and local impact.
