We are always interested in extending the range of materials in our Scrapstore. If you think your company or business is disposing of materials that could be reused creatively – stop!  Have a look at our waste donation flyer Waste Flyer 

Your waste could be offcuts of card or material, packaging, plastics, end of line products or surplus stock, i.e. cards, calendars or novelty items!  It could be interesting and valuable to a range of groups and individuals that we support – they will turn your waste into costumes, props, masks, scenery, games, displays and more!

If you’re a business and would like to donate your ‘trade waste’ to the Scrapstore please contact Ellen Smith on 0115 958 9199 or email scrapstore@playworks.org.uk to find out more.

We can let you know more about the kind of trade waste we need, arrange a visit and we can collect it from your premises, so it’s a hassle-free service!

Best of all, you’ll be helping the environment and the local community at the same time – by providing recycled arts and crafts materials to schools and other play projects. Any profits we make from our Scrapstore are also recycled – back into the work we do, such as providing free training for volunteers.
