Anyone can recycle, but creative Tucsonans recycle colorful trash, glass and wood into trendy, original pieces of art.

Pop-Cycle Shop located on Fourth Avenue creates one-of-a-kind art, accessories, unique gifts and even furniture from recycled materials, reused products and refurbished goods.

"You're just picking it up and going, 'Wow, this is a piece of trash, and I'm going to make it something fun, or new, or useful.,'" said Pop-Cycle Shop owner Shannon Riggs.

Those who shop at the store find innovative designs from all over the world, including magazines turned into magnets, old license plates and jewelry pieces made from old board games.

Another Tucson shop helps the environment in three ways. Bicycle Inter-Community Action and Salvage, also known as BICAS, collects old, broken-down bikes, parts and frames, and then recycles them to build functional bikes.

BICAS promotes bicycle use for a healthier environment, and they teach visitors how to repair, maintain and restore bicycles.

"Teaching people how to fix their bikes as much as helping people get bicycles, because that seems to have almost a more tremendous impact on bicycle use," said Adam Frumhoff, a BICAS employee.
