What if everywhere you looked, you saw something to create? Instead of seeing something broken, you saw something to fix? Instead of seeing something to throw out, you saw something to save and give away? This is how Nelson Molina sees the world, and he invites others to view it that way too! A former employee for the New York City sanitation department, Nelson saved over 45,000 objects from the garbage to fix and show his community through his museum, Treasures in the Trash. Explore the hidden potential in what we often discard and spark a new way of thinking about consumption, waste, and the impact of small actions in Gifts from the Garbage Truck. With themes of upcycling, anti-consumerism, love for community, and joy in the everyday, Gifts from the Garbage Truck inspires kids to think more creatively and curiously about what we do (and don't) throw away!
