Arts and Craft Materials - Donate it, don't dump it!

Re-use of arts and craft materials: There are a lot of bits and pieces used and thrown away each day that an imaginative mind could use to create a stunning piece of artwork. In donating these materials you need to gather a collection of items over time, or you may already have a collection, of something you imagine could be used in arts and craftwork. The organisations that will take them then sell them or donate them to various schools, youth groups and other community projects in Essex.

Description: Material is collected by organisations that call themselves scrap stores. These stores collect material that can be sold to schools/youth groups/art groups to use in art and craft sessions. They mainly request deliveries of items in fairly large quantities, for example if you have a collection of unneeded buttons, ribbons, dried flowers, bottle tops, materials, coloured paper, greeting cards etc.
