SCRAP's Depot Manager William’s been keeping the Depot weird, wonderful, and wildly organized for 5 years—and we’re celebrating with a 5-day trunk show full of his favorite finds, strange and special items from his stash, and his longest stored curiosities finally ready to re-enter the world and find new homes.
Whether you’re a longtime William fan or a curious first time shopper, this is the SCRAP pop-up you don’t want to miss!
5 years of William = 5 days of Finds!
Volunteers power our creative reuse mission, and support depot operations every day!
We regularly host themed, one-off Volunteer Days. This is the easiest way to start volunteering!
If you intend to volunteer more than once a month, we ask that you attend an Volunteer Program Orientation.
Upcoming Sessions:
Volunteer Days: Sun, Sept 7 & 28
Volunteer Orientation: Sept 21
Transform collectibles and keepsakes into funding for SCRAP's Community Programs and Depot Operations
We accept high-value donations like fine collectibles, vintage art supplies, rare instruments, jewelry, paintings and more. These aren’t placed in the Depot; they’re routed through dedicated resale channels, such as auction houses and trusted online sales channels
Have something special to give? Please send images and a description of your items to terry@scrap-sf.org
As SCRAP approaches its 50th anniversary, we are more inspired than ever to build on this momentum and take SCRAP into its next chapter– a new home!
For the last 25 years, SCRAP has been located within an SFUSD facility at 801 Toland St. in the Bayview District. With the passage of Proposition B in November 2024, this building is slated to be demolished and rebuilt as a central kitchen for SFUSD, with construction tentatively scheduled to begin in late 2026. We are using this time to identify a forever home for SCRAP where we can thrive for the next 50 years.
In conjunction with the Ruth Asawa: Retrospective on view through September at SFMOMA.
SCRAP educators and teaching artists will help participants transform ordinary materials into extraordinary make-and-take art projects-inspired by Ruth Asawa’s dedication to arts education and her exploration of common materials.
Sundays in June, July, and August
11:00 AM - 2:00 PM

State of play: The non-profit has been renting its Bayview warehouse from SFUSD for the past 25 years, but the building is slated for demolition in 2026 to make way for a central kitchen for the school district.
