About SCRAP:

SCRAP's mission is to stimulate creativity and environmental awareness in children and adults through promoting the creative reuse of materials that traditionally have been discarded as waste. They collect and redistribute these materials to underfunded educational programs and organizations, teachers, artists, parents, and students in the community. By doing so, SCRAP works to maximize the diversion of reusable discarded materials from the solid waste stream. SCRAP focuses on education, the environment, the arts, and workforce development.
