We're 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.

Yes. The Depot at 2150 Newcomb Ave is open as usual — Tuesday through Sunday, 10am to 6pm. Nothing changes for shoppers this month. 

As we prepare to move, we’ll be running special sales and clearance events — a great time to find deals and help us move inventory thoughtfully.

Shopping moves to 141 Industrial Street in mid-August 2026. We’ll announce the official opening date well in advance — by email first, then on Instagram and the website. The best way to stay updated is to sign up for our newsletter!

The Depot at Newcomb Ave stays open for shopping through the summer and into the transition period. As we prepare to move, we'll be running special sales and clearance events — a great time to find deals and help us move inventory thoughtfully rather than haul it all across town.

The new SCRAP at 141 Industrial St will open for public shopping Mid-August 2026. We will confirm dates by the end of July!

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 will stop at our current location on June 7 and begin at our new location on June 16. As always, check the Donate Materials page on scrap-sf.org for the current accepted materials before you bring something in.

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, and we expect a similar approach at the new location. Scheduling helps us give your donation the attention it deserves.

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
