Scrap Creative Reuse

Creative reuse center (crc):scrap's creative reuse centers are programs that offer the opportunity for community members to participate in our mission. Scrap accepts donations of clean, reusable creative materials (i.e. Fabric, bottle caps, paper, art supplies, craft items, yarn, notions) and make them available to everyone at a low cost. Educators, crafters, creative entrepreneurs, families, and makers are all able to stretch their budgets by purchasing reclaimed materials at a fraction of the cost of regular retail store. In fy24, scrap diverted 142.37 tons (284,739 lbs.) of material from the waste stream. Scrap creative reuse centers are located in ann arbor, mi; baltimore, md; portland, or; and richmond, va.

Volunteer program:each of scrap's four locations is dependent upon volunteers to effectively operationalize our mission.

Volunteering at scrap offers the opportunity for individuals and groups to engage in scrap's mission and share their time, passion and expertise with others and support sustainability, creativity and education in their local communities. Almost 13,141 volunteer hours were logged in fy24.
