National Geographic Channel's "Garbage Moguls" isn't your typical New Jersey-based reality series.
Instead of peddling trashy behavior like "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" or even trashier outfits like Snooki and her gang, "Garbage Moguls" star and TerraCycle CEO Tom Szaky deals with actual, literal garbage.
"There's a certain kind of irony there," Szaky tells The News. "Our show wasn't picked up because it's based in New Jersey, but it's an awesome coincidence that just as Jersey is getting big in the world of reality TV, our show is trying to make a run for it."
"Garbage Moguls" follows Szaky, 28, and his young employees at the eco-friendly company TerraCycle Inc., based in Trenton. TerraCycle "upcycles" waste to create usable products and sells them to major companies like Wal-Mart and Target. Some of their most popular items include a pencil case made from Capri Sun juice pouches and tote bags made from plastic bags.
