My Trash, My Treasure calls for everyone to view waste in a different way. Some waste material may still be of value if it is repurposed, reused or recycled. The objective of the initiative is to reflect, through arts, on our behaviour and responsibility as consumers and citizens - how we use, consume and dispose of waste, and the impact this can have on nature.
