Celebrate Trashnukkah

It is the 4th night of Hanukkah, and so we here at Olympia Dumpster Divers have been searching for some recycled Judaica with a festival of lights theme to share with you.  How about a Hanukkah menorah (otherwise known as an hannukiah) made from recycled glass:

or a Star of David made from reused Goya cans:

recycled judaica by Daniel Archuleta at Recycle Santa Fe 2009  

and of course, there is always the dreidel made from an empty milk carton

Make Art Not Waste and Happy Trashnukkah to all!

    thanks, Juliet! I was actually surprised at the dearth of Hanukkah-related items made from recycled materials, other than kids’ projects (and even those were slim)

    I am going to double my efforts at finding Trashnukkah stuff for NEXT year, and start creating some cool recycled Hanukkah-themed stuff myself!
