______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
If you and a large group are interested in touring one of our shops, please give us at least 24 hours notice so that we can have enough staff on hand to have proper coverage for our customers and groups. Thank you!
Who Gives a SCRAP Creative Reuse Center is open at two locations -Old Colorado City in Colorado Springs and Fort Collins. For more information about our store locations and hours click here.
Who Gives a SCRAP is an eclectic scrap store that carries an impressive mix of vintage and up-cycled materials. We carry everything from scrapbooking paper to game pieces, used books and sewing patterns, the variety is a crafters dream. We believe that the reuse of goods and materials is the most efficient, environmentally friendly and economically viable way to reduce the waste stream. Our shop is open to the public and our ever changing inventory is based on individual and business donations.
Many teachers are responsible for buying their own supplies for their students and their classrooms and can spend upwards of $500. Who Gives a SCRAP is here to help reduce the expense by offering low-cost options. If you are a hobbyist or artist looking for inexpensive supplies, Who Gives a SCRAP is here to help.
