Visit the new SCRAP Depot at 141 Industrial St. 

The new SCRAP Depot opened on Sat, August 15, 2026.

The SCRAP Depot is a creative reuse haven and community space—filled with ever-changing, affordable materials for teachers, artists, students, and makers. Every purchase supports arts education, diverts waste from landfills, and fuels creativity across the Bay Area.

Beads at the SCRAP Depot

From General Bead to SCRAP, pieces of San Francisco's crafting history are now ready for their next life with you.

If you’ve ever made your way through the legendary aisles of General Bead, you might recognize what’s now filling our shelves. For nearly four decades, the family-run business was San Francisco's biggest bead store, serving generations of Bay Area makers with a massive selection of beads, chains, findings, rhinestones and just about anything bead related you could think of. 

Now, a large part of that legendary inventory has found a new home at SCRAP! Come fill your bead bag.
