Riverside County Department of Waste Resources held a fun and eco-friendly crafting session! The department held a free workshop to make a Do It Yourself (DIY) Teacup Succulent arrangement to take home and enjoy. A Recycling Specialist walked you through the steps to make a simple reuse project to upcycle a teacup into a charming planter for succulents. The workshop was held on Saturday, May 11, from 9:00 am to 11:00 am and all materials were provided at the workshop. Gently used teacups and mugs for this project were generously donated by the Assistance League of Riverside https://www.assistanceleague.org/riverside/.
