November 15 is America Recycles Day this year. Around the world, there are recycling celebrations in many countries. How could you celebrate recycling this November? The most popular types of events are collection events for materials that don’t go in the recycling bin, such as bicycles or hazardous materials such as paint. But there are many other kinds of events such as:
- paper shredding or bicycle repair events
- tutorials or workshops on worm composting and zero-waste cooking
- sew-alongs where people sew reusable bags
- clothing or toy swaps
- repair cafés where people bring items and others fix them or teach how to fix them
- tours of recycling centers and transfer stations
- trash fashion or recycling sculpture shows
I mentioned a program called the Wasted Swap where creative reuse artists are matched with a partner and exchange bags from recycled materials – here’s the info from Trash2Tees.
