SCRAP NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!

The Depot

Over 45,000 community visits while diverting over 250 tons of materials from the waste stream

From 5000+ material donations made by community members and local businesses

“SCRAP is a San Francisco treasure and provides the soil, water and sunlight for creativity.”

- SCRAP Customer

Every visit supports SCRAP’s mission to make art accessible, reduce waste, and fund creative reuse and arts education throughout the community. The materials in our Depot are donated by individuals, businesses, and institutions across the Bay Area. You’re not just stocking up on creative supplies—you’re helping to keep materials out of landfills and put them into the hands of makers, educators, and students.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND

Our aisles are home a constantly rotating mix of art supplies, classroom materials, delightful odds & ends, and items with inspiring textures, colors, histories and personalities.

The SCRAP Depot is the heart of our creative reuse work- it is a beloved community space that provides access to low-cost, zero-waste materials, learn and experiment through hands-on workshops and connect with fellow artists, educators, and makers.

Donated materials are organized in our aisles by type—art &craft, fabric, office, paper, scrapbooking, notions, yarn, wood, glass, plastic, frames and more—making it easy to browse and stumble upon the unexpected, and find inspiration.

“It’s never the same twice. It’s always a treasure hunt.” - SCRAP Customer

SPECIALTY POP-UPs

Once or twice a month, we roll out a fresh collection of curated treasures in our Workshop space with the Depot. These limited-time pop-ups feature themed or category-specific items—think vintage, art, jewelry findings, fabric bundles, holiday decor, and more.
