What is a creative reuse center? Think of all the little things (and some big things) that end up in landfills, and how useful many of them could be, if they were all in one place.

Upcycle Arts is that place. They collect donations from businesses and individuals — anything from fabric to bicycle wheels to egg cartons to puzzle pieces…you get the idea!

Then crafters and artists can shop for items that they need for their projects, or for items that inspire projects. Families love creative reuse centers. They can stock up on items that will spark creativity in kids, and keep them busy and having fun. All for a much lower price than buying materials new.

Upcycle Arts sells some items by the pound and some at 50% of retail price. They sometimes have a “fill-a-bag” option for a fixed price.
