Join the UCRRA Recycling Outreach Team in celebrating the holidays with an upcycled ornament workshop for kids! Upcycling is a fun and creative way to reimagine unwanted items and turn them into new, useful items or works of art! The holidays are a wonderful time to spend with family and friends, decorate, and exchange gifts. Upcycling is one of many ways to reduce waste during the holiday season, when Americans generate 25% more waste than at any other time of year…

This class will be hosted at the Town of Ulster Public Library and facilitated by the UCRRA Recycling Outreach Team. Participants will hear a brief presentation about the impacts of our household waste and the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling. Then, educators will guide participants through a hands-on craft workshop to make an ornament using upcycled materials. All craft materials will be provided. This FREE workshop is suitable for children ages 7 and up, and parental supervision is advised.

Accessibility: There is a large parking lot in the back and ADA accessible spaces across from the front door. There is also handicap parking and we are located on one floor with no steps.
