Students Visit the Cincinnati Recycling and Reuse Hub

On April 30, TRECA Digital Academy students visited the Cincinnati Recycling & Reuse Hub in Cincinnati, OH. 

The Hub is a non-profit organization dedicated to reducing the amount of waste going to landfills through its one-stop drop-off location. Their mission is to revolutionize how people think about “things” and to provide a place where almost anything can be recycled or reused. Since April 1st, 2021 they have reused or recycled over 1 million pounds of materials, keeping many items out of our growing landfills! On our tour, students learned about sustainability, what they do with hard-to-recycle materials, and the reuse shop that’s dedicated to prolonging the life of many products we use in our daily lives. The reuse shop is open to the public a couple of times a week. Before they leave, items are weighed and recorded so they can track the amount of material that is diverted from the landfill through recycling and reuse.
