In celebration of all things recycled, upcycled, secondhand, and discovered, join Krrb, Jessi Arrington and Film Biz Recycling for a real-deal live auction over beers and tacos. Bid on $10 props and $30 decor to $100 thingamagigs and $300 furnishings, all worth well over their initial bid. All items have been rescued from potentially ending up in the landfill by the folks behind Film Biz Recycling, a not-for-profit organization that creates socially responsible and sustainable solutions from media industry waste.

60% of the rescued props and materials are redistributed to local charities and organizations and the remainder is sold or rented at the Film Biz Recycling Prop Shop in order to sustain their efforts.

A natural partnership with Krrb, a fun and safe place to connect with neighbors to buy, sell, trade and give secondhand, handmade and locally-made.

All event elements come from in-house, upcycled resources and all proceeds benefit Film Biz Recycling and the amazing local organizations and charities they assist.

Beer lovingly provided by Brooklyn Brewery.
