The Repurpose Project

TOMORROW! Drop by the Repurpose Project for the next edition of RP Kids Club: Paint your own plant pot! 🪴🎨

There will also be a demo on how to create your own upcycled planters, because you know we’re all about creative reuse. This workshop is recommended for kids age 7-12 (and their accompanying adult!) and FREE! You will be able to take home your freshly painted pot after planting a plant in it. The event runs from 2-5PM on Sunday, June 21st, at the Repurpose Project Community Center (1920 NE 23rd Ave.)

So get ready to get dressed to paint and play in the dirt! Happy crafting!

TOMORROW! We’ll be having a 50% off sale all day long at the Repurpose Project!

We’ve got craft supplies, fabric, art, frames, garden supplies, pots and plants, electronics, sewing materials, kitchen supplies, office supplies, toys, linen, decor, luggage, party supplies, sporting goods, and much more!

Let’s talk compost! 🍃🍌🧅

If you’ve spent any time in the community garden here at the Repurpose Project, you might have noticed the bin labeled compost.

Some guidelines for composting in our compost bin:
✅ Plant/fruit/vegetable scraps are good!
✅ General food waste (leftover french fries, pasta, bread. Please note that any dairy must be covered with leaves!
✅ Coffee ground, tea leaves, staple-less tea bags

🚫 Meat/fish/bones cannot go in this bin!
🚫 Pet waste or cat litter
🚫 Trash (so no textiles, metal, plastic, toilet paper, rocks, etc.)

Here at the Repurpose Project, it is our mission to keep as much material in the circular economy as possible, including organic waste— composting is a fantastic way to close the loop! So this post also serves as your reminder that we accept donations of plants and garden supplies as well— even plants that are not in a healthy state, since we will either nurse them to health or contribute them to our compost bin!
