Scrap Yard: Innovators of Recycling exhibit 

An exhibit, Scrap Yard: Innovators of Recycling on display at the Jewish Museum of Maryland from until April 26, 2020.

This exhibit tells the important role that people, many of them Jewish immigrants, had in creating the scrap industry. It also tells the story of how almost everything that becomes worn, useless, or obsolete can be changed into something that can be used again. Students will experience the sights and sounds of one of America’s largest industries, its innovative technology, and the stories of immigrant families that built it.
