Upcycled

NEW RECORD! 850 lbs of trash picked up in 2 hours!!

The satisfaction of leaving a spot better than we found it never fades.

We’ve cleaned thousands of pounds of trash over the years and we could not be more proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish. So grateful for everyone who’s been part of it! BIG THANKS to all of our volunteers who helped push toward our mission and achieve our goals!

Join us for an Upcycled Clean-Up!

This October, we invite you to join us for our last community cleanup as we wrap up five years of Upcycled projects. Together, we’ll spend the day caring for our trails and public spaces, removing litter, and celebrating the collective effort that has transformed over 10,000 pounds of plastic into lasting community resources.

This event is more than just a cleanup—it’s a way to honor the volunteers, students, partners, and neighbors who made this journey possible. We hope you’ll stand with us one final time to leave a cleaner, brighter, and more connected community.

♻️ 10,000 lbs Upcycled!!💪🌍

We hit a huge milestone — over 5 TONS of single-use plastic kept out of our oceans, landfills, and environment. That’s 10,000 lbs of bottle caps, takeout containers, cups, and more — all transformed into sustainable structures like benches and picnic tables and installed in over 30 parks and schools!

This has been a major goal for us at Upcycled Inc, and we couldn’t be more proud.

To everyone who’s supported our mission: Thank You 🙌

Had a great time with the Waste Warriors of Lime Kiln Middle School installing a new border to their vibrant butterfly garden!

It never gets old seeing how engaged the students get with our projects and their enthusiasm for the environment and protecting it!!

Another successful cleanup in the books! With 30 attendees who helped pick up just over 300 lbs of litter off the trails and riverbanks we consider this a big win and a great way to kick off the 2025 season!!

Come join us in celebrating Earth Day!!

Big thanks to the students at Atholton Elementary for bringing your energy and enthusiasm to our Waste Warrior Workshop.

We loved working with you to install a new bench for the school—thanks for helping make a lasting impact on your campus.
