Scrap Creative Reuse Project

We are a Leeds based social enterprise which promotes the idea that waste materials are precious resources reused for creative purposes. We give value to unwanted, worthless objects which are mostly destined for landfill, discarded materials, unsold stock and rejects


Over the next few months we are busy busy busy. We are running events, working with families, booked for mobile shops, running environmental arts workshops within schools, creating fantastic scrapboxes and the list goes on.
