EXPLORE + REUSE + CREATE

UpCycle is the exchange place for
creative materials, INSPIRATION AND IDEAS in Alexandria!

UpCycle Creative Reuse Center is an Alexandria, Virginia based non-profit that connects creativity and conservation by providing a resource center for reuse materials and a creative making space for the community. At UpCycle, we rethink the traditional notion of waste by collecting cast-offs from our community to serve as creative materials.

View how UpCycle & Reuse Alexandria make Alexandria a better place to live, with a little help from Kevin Bacon.
