Bring your favorite old t-shirt or select from our colorful collection, and we will help you create your very own bag. Compost Up Close & Planting Pots Take home your own handcrafted compostable pot and native plant seedling. We will share recipes for generating rich compost and give you the opportunity to observe some of nature’s recyclers up close. E-Waste Explored & Recycled Robots Mixed material items like e-waste cannot be put in your curbside cart, but how we handle e-waste has a big impact on our environment. Use those items that do not belong in your recycling cart to create recycled robots. Summer Celebrations without Styrofoam Join us for a party demonstrating alternative ways you can celebrate by using recycled or reusable items. Use compostable materials to create decorations that you can take home for your next summer celebration. All Recycling Craft events include an activity or craft.
