RECYCLING
The Center for Hard to Recycle Materials helps to improve our environmental health by encouraging reuse and diverting thousands of pounds of household hazardous waste and other hard-to-recycle items from Metro-Atlanta landfills and water systems. Check out their website for all the items that you can recycle!
UPCYCLING
Re:Loom employs and empowers homeless and low income individuals through weaving beautiful, original products from upcycled materials. We love Re:Loom as it is a program of the Initiative for Affordable Housing so while they are upcycling materials, they are also providing holistic social services to allow individuals to achieve independence.
