The Scrap Box is a tax exempt organization whose mission is to promote creativity and sustainability by providing inexpensive recycled materials to the public. Through our workshops, The Scrap Box teaches eco-friendly ways to recycle. Since 1985 The Scrap Box has been collecting an ever-changing warehouse full of unique recycled materials, making them available at affordable prices to our community. These materials from manufacturers and businesses would otherwise end up in landfills. Remnants, samples, seconds, overruns, & excess inventory are the "good junk" you'll find in the store. It can be recycled into useful materials for art classes, learning games, science projects, crafts, & more. It's a win-win situation: factories have lower dumpster costs; teachers, parents, artists, and crafters have unique, low-cost materials. Creativity happens when children and adults are able to create with materials that have no preconceived ideas about how they must be used.
