Our Master Recyclers are a whiz at finding creative things to do with things normally tossed in our trash. Recently they took the time to hold some classes at the Tillamook Branch of the County Library. Here are the instructions of the crafts they shared if you want to give them a try on your own!

At the 2017 Home and Garden Show we shared some ideas on repurposing things commonly found in our garbage or recycle bins. Below are some of the items we had on display and how to make them at home.
If you have other ideas or comments about items you have made using items from your garbage or recycle bin, please let us know! We'd love to hear from you!
