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

  • washers or part covers used in shipping

  • fabric

  • vinyl or leather scraps

  • smooth wood and wood turnings

  • colored paper
