December 22 - January 3rd: SCRAP will be closed For Christmas & New Years - We will reopen on January 5th.
SCRAP is a creative reuse center, store and workshop space founded in
1976 in San Francisco, California. Donations of high quality, low cost,
re-usable materials such as textiles, paper, jewelry findings, wood,
buttons and plastics are collected from businesses, institutions and
individuals then sorted, displayed and distributed by SCRAP for
artists, educational and community groups. Free materials and art
activities are provided through our community outreach service.
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."
Manufacturers save money on their disposal costs and receive tax
benefits. Artists, museums, senior groups, summer camps, children's
centers and theater groups transform SCRAP materials into sculptures,
paintings, and other masterpieces. Anyone can contribute by purchasing
or donating high quality, clean, reusable materials that might
otherwise be thrown away.
