recycle + reinvest
Recycle & Reinvest is dedicated to bridging the gap between trash and crime by empowering our community through hands-on environmental leadership and artist-led education. Our collective of board members and Street Healers provide neighborhood pick-ups, tree planting, and youth leadership opportunities, through the Soil Soldiers youth program and community events.
Alongside local allies, we come together to share knowledge, promote sustainability, and strengthen local environmental justice initiatives, while celebrating the artists and wellness-based businesses that keep our community thriving.​​
Today, we continue to build up community spaces where people take pride in their surroundings, support one another, and work together to create lasting positive change.​
