July 26, 2008 SCRAP

Scroungers' Center for Reusable Art Parts is a creative reuse center, store and workshop space founded in 1976 in San Francisco. Donations of high quality, re-usable materials are collected from businesses, institutions and individuals then sorted, displayed and distributed by SCRAP for artists, educational and community groups. By breathing new life into old objects, SCRAP reduces the amount of waste going to crowded landfills. By offering low cost art and re-use workshops and providing schools and organizations with badly needed art supplies, SCRAP stimulates creativity and environmental awareness. Nourished by so many wonderful SCRAP treasures, Children and adults learn how to "REDUCE, RE-USE AND RECYCLE" while manufacturers and individual donors save money on their disposal costs and receive tax benefits.

My only complaint about SCRAP is that I seem to come home with a car load of items every time a take a small bag of items to donate!
