MORE ON THE WHEATON ARTS PARADE AND HOW YOU CAN HELP

Wheaton Arts Parade (WAP) and One Montgomery Green (OMG) will work together on a “#6 Remix” Tetrahedron— a re-use/ up-cycle project to help the community become more aware of what is NOT recyclable in MoCo and ways we can re-use these items as art versus having them end up polluting our planet. 

WAP plans to install 39 panels of artwork by local artists and students. 30 triangular panels with 4 ft. edges and 9 triangles with 8 ft. edges will be assembled into 13 large tetrahedrons and installed around the Wheaton Urban District, from the Westfield Wheaton Mall to the new town plaza to the Library and Recreation Center.

WAP/OMG will make one of these tetrahedrons that will be placed around Wheaton, MD this fall. Our theme will be NATIVE PLANTS & FLOWERS.

Save Your #6 Plastics to turn into art!
Please save your *CLEAN* #6 polystyrene materials that Montgomery County does not recycle (see examples on left) and many people tend to “wish-recycle” assuming or wishing that they can be recycled. A drive-up & drop-off location and dates to do so will be announced very soon.
