SCRAP Creative Reuse / by Lee McKnight

We could not agree more with this organization's motto:
Because creative expression shouldn't break the bank or the environment.

SCRAP is a non-profit focused on keeping goods out of landfills that could, with some creativity, be repurposed or reused for another function. They were founded in 1998 by a group of teachers who wanted to find a home for leftover materials from their classrooms. Today, SCRAP diverts over 140 tons of usable, creative material from becoming waste.

They accept donated goods from the public, sell them at bargain prices, and offer affordable workshops and educational opportunities to teach new skills to people of all ages. This model is so great that reuse enthusiasts across the country have followed suit, creating SCRAPs in their communities.
