The goal is to raise awareness about the importance of recycling and the impact of contamination in recycling systems.
The gallery was designed by students from South Division High School, Marshall High School, and Walt Whitman School as part of a series of art workshops.
The workshops educated students on the dangers of recycling contamination, and the resulting artwork creatively displays items commonly mistaken for recyclable materials.
The event is hosted by Keep Greater Milwaukee Beautiful.
