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 giveyou the opportunity to observe some of nature’s recyclers up close.

E-Waste Explored & Recycled RobotsMixed 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.
