This exciting project offers a unique opportunity for youth to design sustainability-themed artwork that will be showcased on the side panels of trash and recycling bins surrounding Todos Santos Plaza. This project aims to increase public engagement on environmental issues, facilitate proper recycling and waste disposal, and promote sustainable practices in Concord.
