(medium sized) Old broken electronics: Have an old stereo or small
kitchen appliance that is no longer working? We want it!
Unfortunately our storage space is limited so we are specifically
looking for small appliance items here, things like old power
drills that no longer work, maybe a hand mixer or clock radio, or
that record player you never use anymore. Old Toys : Do you have a
closet full of old action figures, little army men, or Barbie dolls
that are no longer being used? Maybe that old electronic toy
guitar, or RC car that no longer works? Have a remote control for a
toy, but forgot what it went to? We want it all. Flashlights: We
have a need for all things that light up, whether that be a
flashlight, or a small desk lamp youre no longer using. Things with
LEDs are super great. Have a collection of old light up swords or
wands that arent being used anymore? We want them. Cardboard: You
might not have noticed, but we clearly have a love for all things
cardboard in our Arts Center, and we are always looking for more,
whether its large boxes, left over cardboard sheets, tubes of all
shapes and sizes, we want them. There is a particular need for
smaller (12x12inch) boxes at the moment. Textiles: Are you a
quilter, or a sewer, or just looking to empty out you closet? We
have a need for fabric, whether its bolts, sheets or scraps.
Bicycle wheels: You will be amazed what we can do with a bicycle
wheel, rim bent ? Its okay! No tire? Thats okay too! Wood: Are you
a wood worker? Do you have old picture frames, left over trim, or
other wood scraps piled around? Well take them!
