I really love SCRAP because they provide communities with a multi-layer system of benefits. On one hand they serve as a place to donate unwanted materials preventing dumping and reducing need for landfill space. They truly turn trash into an opportunity for education and community beautification through creative reuse, education and access to creative outlets for all members of the community - all the way from teachers, seniors, young children even businesses. 

Mission Statement

SCRAP breathes new life into old objects and reduces waste by diverting over 200 tons of materials heading to landfill every year.

Donations of quality re-usable materials such as textiles, buttons, paper, craft and office supplies, plastics, and wood are collected from businesses, institutions, and individuals then sorted and made available to teachers, parents, artists, and organizations.

The community depends on SCRAP as the place to find all manner of materials for educational programs, creative projects, and their classrooms. By offering low cost supplies, creative reuse workshops, volunteer opportunities, educational field trips,art exhibitions, and more SCRAP gives students of all ages the opportunity to learn and pass on the value of creative reuse.

They also provide educational resources to help other communities start their own SCRAP facility and programs.
