20th Anniversary!
The Household Hazardous Waste Center is celebrating 20 years of service – and to make it official, a mural project was unveiled along with a new modular office space made out of used shipping containers. Yes, that’s right, shipping containers.
The mural was designed by Virginia Avenue Park Teen Center artist in residence, Juan Carlos Munoz Hernandez and several Teen Center youth. The intent was to create a flexible art piece to illustrate what comes into the HHW Center from the community, and to create and educational opportunity for the teen painters. It was a success. But don’t take our word for it. Come down and visit the center for yourself.
2500 Michigan Ave. just East of the 10 Freeway at Cloverfield
