What do YOU 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 170 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 that is harmful to children.

Typical materials:

- 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
- surplus or outdated stock
- unusual packing material  (no Stryo worms, please)
- sturdy cardboard tubes
- samples and sample books
- foam pieces 
- promotional materials—badges, magnets, misc.
