June 2024: Takeout Utensils with Bonus Jewelry
June 1 - June 30
The ReCollective partners with Trosa to Repurpose unopened Takeout Utensils and Cutlery. Please put the Utensils in your ReCo Pick Bag for June. What is included? Unopened Utensils and Cutlery (i.e., still in the plastic wrap or box), including Silverware Sets, Spoons, Forks, Knives, Napkins, and Utensils made of Plastic, Wood, or Compostable Materials.
The ReCollective is taking jewelry as a BONUS pick in June. Please put the jewelry in your own bag and set it beside your waterproof bag. Do not put the jewelry in your ReCo Pick bag. What is included? Necklaces, pendants, bracelets, brooches, and earrings – this includes costume jewelry and precious metals! Yes, even broken jewelry and solo earrings! What is NOT included? Please do not place loose beads, gems, clasps, or anything sharp in your ReCo pick bag. Jewelry can be worn and/or broken but not unsalvageable. Where is it going? We partner with community organizations and The Scrap Exchange to give the jewelry a new life. Repurposing jewelry involves transforming existing pieces into entirely different creations. You can upcycle old pieces by combining them or altering them to make something completely new!
