From a Business
What does your business throw away that is clean, safe and interesting?
We are looking for items that have no value to you, but are treasures to us - punch outs, promo items, samples, surplus, obsolete materials - it’s hard to ask for things that we don't know exist! Smaller is better than larger, color is a bonus. Items must be clean and ready to be used by children.
We will come to your site and check materials, then pickup materials on a schedule convenient for you. We also receive donations by freight or mail. Over 180 businesses nationwide already save landfill costs and support children - join them and recycle with us.
We will not accept sharp objects, materials containing lead or phthalates, the plastic is harmful to children.

-
gasket scraps

cuttings and punch-outs
