Zero Landfill Cleveland is holding a repurposing / upcycling event February 22 from 9 am to 12 pm and February 28 from 3 pm to 6 pm. It is at the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District HQ 4750 East 131 Street, Garfield Heights. They call these "Harvest Days". People can come and take away donated items to use for themselves. The materials tend to be interior design samples (carpet, tile, wall coverings, flooring) which are dropped off on a Pollinator Day (February 21, from 12 pm -3 pm). The aim is to redirect these materials to local artists, teachers, and the general public instead of the landfill. In the past they have gotten 20-30 van loads of materials from design businesses around NE Ohio. It is random, but that is the creative fun.
The Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District gives them a space to use for the event.
This would be a great time for local Makers to get some materials to experiment with.
There will be another event in July.
