reCREATE provides a lively and interactive hour-long program that includes an educational presentation as well as art project from “Rolling reCREATE”, where the reCREATE team brings the field-trip to your school - arriving in an oversized truck, built out as an art-mobile and filled with art supplies. Our presentation will include a discussion designed to increase the students’ awareness of solid waste issues, the importance of waste reduction and reuse, and how recycling happens in our region. Topics discussed include:
- What is waste?
- What happens to our trash?
- What can you do to reduce waste?
The art project includes a trip to the reCREATE art-mobile to gather materials that are commonly tossed in the trash. Students are taught to see how these items can be reused and end the session with a unique works of art that is theirs to keep.
This program meets California state education standards for art, science and social studies.
We can accommodate four classes per day at a school. To minimize the environmental impact of driving the vehicle to your location, a minimum of three and maximum of four classes should be reserved for the same day.

Note: We are contracted with Western Placer Waste Managment Authority to provide our program for 2nd through 4th grade classes (with 3rd grade classes getting priority for booking) in Western Placer County, at no cost to the schools. At this time we are not offering a funded program in the Sacramento region, but hope this can restart in the future.
Thank you for your interest in reCREATE!
