• Jewelry

• Bikes

• Wooden Items/Small Furniture

Join us for a hands-on evening of creativity and sustainability! In this interactive workshop, participants will bring an old button-up shirt or pair of jeans and learn how to transform them into something fresh and functional. Whether it is giving a shirt a stylish new twist or an old pair of jeans a refresh, we’ll show you how to breathe new life into clothing you already own.

The evening also includes a short presentation on how to challenge the fast fashion cycle by rethinking and reusing what’s already in your closet, focusing on upcoming summer trends you can participate with your old favorites. You'll leave inspired and equipped with upcycling techniques that are easy to replicate at home.

No prior sewing or crafting experience needed—just bring your garment and an open mind!

Let’s get creative, reduce waste, and rethink fashion—together.

Suggested donation is $10 and payable directly at the Hub at the time of the workshop.

Cincinnati Recycling & Reuse Hub is partnering with Hamilton County Resource, Mobo Bicycle Coop, and Queen City Bike for a special collection of bicycles, bike tires, and tubes for reuse and recycling.

Hamilton County Resource is covering the fees on bicycle tires and tubes recycling on this special amnesty day.

Bicycles will go to our two partners: Mobo Bicycle Coop and Queen City Bike.

About Mobo:

MoBo Bicycle Coop is a volunteer coop that works to teach children and adults how to fix their own bicycles using recycled parts diverted from landfills. Bikes and parts donated will, depending on size and condition, be used to teach children and teens bike repair and be taken home for free, stripped into parts and recycled onto other bikes, or shined up for our annual bike sale!

About Queen City Bike:

Queen City Bike's Mobility Together is a program that empowers newly arrived refugees with bikes for transportation—while sharing in bike repair skills and community along the way.

Bikes are liberating and helpful in countless ways, from enabling time-efficient travel to essential destinations like ESL classes and asylum appointments; to transport of groceries and household supplies; to expansion of community joy and growth.

Do you have a bike gathering dust in your garage or basement?

A bike donated to Mobility Together is guaranteed to be ridden, used, loved, and appreciated. They'll accept bikes that are old or new; bikes from Walmart, specialty shops, or anything in between; bikes that are big or little; and even bikes that are broken. Two wheels good. Parts and wheels are also accepted. They will refurbish and fix what they can, and any unusable items will be recycled at the Hub.

We are also accepting tool donations at this collection.
Ownership of tools is enormously important to equip folks to work on their own bikes. Most appreciated are donations of metric wrenches, hex wrenches, chain removers, bottom bracket tools, headset wrenches, and other simple hand tools.
