Upcycled Inc

The primary exempt purpose of Upcycled is to expand community awareness regarding the plastic crisis, encourage recycling through the creation of lumber from recycled plastics, and reduce waste in landfills. The lumber is used to build structures such as garden beds, benches, and picnic tables that are donated to local parks, schools, and community spaces. Upcycled intends to collaborate with the county at the local landfill and/or work with local partners to install additional community collection bins to encourage community members to redirect appropriate waste to Upcycled so that we can transform it. This has the added benefits of redirecting plastic waste from landfills while starting a conversation with the community surrounding the plastic crisis and providing single-use plastic with a long-term purpose.
