Upcycling is also known as reuse or the transformation of unwanted waste into new materials or products. Many people hear waste reduction and think of the standard household recycling of aluminum cans at the curb, but the options are much broader.
The Pasco Upcycle & Arts Festival is presented by Covanta. The event features a variety of upcycle vendors and artists selling items such as jewelry made from spoons, repurposed furniture and decor made of pallets. Farmer’s Market vendors, plant sales and food trucks will also be available. Live bands will be providing entertainment.
