Welcome to Who Gives a SCRAP Creative Reuse Center
|
CELEBRATING 4 Years!!!
It all began Nov. 1, 2015! We would like to thank all of our loyal customers in Colorado Springs and across the state and also our friends in Wyoming. We could not have done this without all of your support and the support of our community! Who Gives a SCRAP Creative Reuse Center is open at two locations - in Colorado Springs and Fort Collins. For more information about our store locations and hours click here. Who Gives a SCRAP is a donation based scrap store that carries an impressive mix of arts and craft and hobbies supplies in addition to unique vintage finds. 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. If we receive donations that cannot be re-sold at our shops, we work with many community partners that will use such items as coats, shoes, boots, toiletries, backpacks, excess school and office supplies. Nothing goes to waste, because we are zero waste! |
