Think of us before you throw it out.
Take a look around you home or workplace and ask yourself if there’s anything that could be repurposed for a creative project. Create a separate bin and organize a pickup. We’re huge fans of odd items, mixed bags, and accumulations of all sorts - surprise us!
Here are some ideas of what we’re collecting
Household Items
Various spent objects and curiosities that would otherwise end up in the recycle bin or trash:
Food packaging containers, lids, kitchen wares, etc
Used or broken appliances, toys, or accessories
Furniture
Packaging materials (styrofoam, cases, boxes, etc)
Home renovation discards (flooring, cabinets, other fixtures)
Construction Material.
Basically anything (new or used) that you might otherwise find in a home improvement store:
Sheet materials like plywood, insulation, plastics, etc
Lumber and other lengths (tubing, angle iron, etc)
Composite Material
Hardware, fasteners, other bits and pieces
Paint, plasters, etc.
Industrial By-Products.
All that stuff that a local business might otherwise be paying disposal fees to get rid of:
industrial containers (barrels, totes, packaging, etc)
end of rolls (paper, fabric, poly, cording, etc)
landscaping aggregates, wood
defective/surplus goods and merchandise
