Because creative expression shouldn’t break the bank or the environment
Ann Arbor’s SCRAP Creative Reuse Center offers new life to discarded materials
January 8, 2023
According to their website, “Creative Reuse, is when the addition of creativity to an already manufactured item brings a new function. A CD jewel case can become a bird feeder, wine corks turned into a cork board and a t-shirt transformed into a rug. Creative Reuse Centers, like SCRAP, collect discarded materials from the public that can be reused and given new life. Many centers resell these items to the public for a bargain or donate them to teachers, organizations or other groups for further reuse.”
SCRAP Creative Reuse is located at 4567 Washtenaw Ave. in Ann Arbor approximately 20 minutes from Schoolcraft College. SCRAP offers sustainable supplies at an affordable price. They also offer a monthly schedule of classes which can be found on their Instagram page @scrap_a2.
