SCRAP is Moving

No. SCRAP is not closing — we’re growing! The move to our forever home is happening in stages, so we can keep serving the community throughout the transition.

The building we've called home for years at Toland & Newcomb is being demolished in 2026 to make way for SFUSD's new central kitchen. So we had a choice: find another lease and face this uncertainty again someday, or do something bolder.

We chose bold. SCRAP has purchased a 26,000 sq ft building at 141 Industrial Street — our first permanent home in 50 years. 

SCRAP’s new location is at 141 Industrial St. A short 7 min walk (0.3 miles) away from our current location! Directions, transit options, and parking info can be found here. 

The new space is nearly two times the size of our current Depot — 10,000 sq ft on the ground floor for SCRAP, plus a second floor for fellow arts nonprofits. That means:

• Much more room to receive, sort, and display donated materials

• Dedicated workshop space on-site for the first time

• A more spacious, organized shopping experience

• Parking!

And because we'll own the building, we won't face rising rents or another forced move. This is SCRAP's home — built to last.

No. The Depot at 2150 Newcomb Ave is now closed. We will reopen at 141 Industrial Street on Sat, August 15 2026. Email list subscribers hear news first  sign up for our newsletter!

The new SCRAP at 141 Industrial St will open for public shopping on Sat, August 15 2026. 

The spirit of SCRAP — affordable, creative, a little unpredictable — isn’t changing when the address does. Our mission is to make creative materials accessible to everyone, and that holds in the new space. If anything, the experience gets better: more room, better organization, and more space to browse and discover. Same SCRAP magic, more of it.

Yes, help us stock the shelves in our new home! Material donation intake is open at our new location - 141 Industrial St. through Sat, Aug 01. We will then be paused on accepting donations between Aug 02 and 16. 

Our donation guidelines are driven by what’s useful to our community — not by which building we’re in. We don’t anticipate major changes to accepted categories at the new location in fact we might be adding more categories. During our transition period, some categories may be temporarily paused. We’ll update the Donate Materials page and send email updates as those changes happen.

Yes — our current policy (appointment required for more than 2 boxes) stays in effect. Scheduling helps us give your donation the attention it deserves.

We are currently not offering pick-ups.

Yes. SCRAP’s community workshops are continuing without interruption. Starting in May 2026, workshops have moved to Cafe Alma, our partner venue in the Bayview while we finish building out the new space. Free community workshops at partner venues — including SFMOMA and SF Public Libraries — also continue on their regular schedule.

For the first time, SCRAP will have dedicated workshop space on-site. That means more workshops, more flexibility, and the ability to grow programming we’ve had to limit because of space. Details on the full workshop schedule at the new location will be shared as we get closer to the fall opening.

SCRAP’s school and after-school programs — including SCRAP in a Box and Sustainable Fashion Design — run through partner sites and are not affected by the Depot move. These programs continue without interruption. Questions? Email kayci@scrap-sf.org.

We’ll also send email announcements for every major milestone.

• When the new Depot opens for shopping & grand opening

• Any temporary closures or hours changes at the current Newcomb Ave location

Relocating takes a village - we'd love that. There are a few ways the community can support the transition. Lend your time and expertise with painting, landscaping, furniture assembly, packing/unpacking, deep cleaning, signage
