To obtain a better planet we will have recycling stations. We support and incorporate reusing, and recycling while reducing waste by featuring recycling stations. Bring shopping bags to purchase items. Drop off your organic food scraps to donate back to the earth.
MISSION
Through our recycling programming, we create services, events, and activities, that introduce effective ways to reduce landfill waste through repurposing and upcycling 80% to 90% of all donated materials into costumes, and new products.

TRASH TO WEALTH WITH NIGERIA
The Recycle Challenge is a global initiative campaign designed to encourage and motivate individuals, households, and communities to increase their recycling efforts. We celebrate the richness of diversity and are committed to fostering an inclusive environment that respects and values individuals of all races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. The aim is to create awareness about the positive importance of recycling and the positive impact it has on the environment and the human experience. Participants are encouraged to participate in challenges, track and document their recyclable waste and challenge others to do the same, spreading the message and inspiring others. It's a fun and engaging way to promote recycling intertwined with art, and fosters a sense of collective responsibility towards the planet.
