Trash to Treasure is a non-profit organization that has a mission to locate clean, re-usable materials (called “clean scrap”) and redistribute these items as valuable educational and artistic resources. These items are typically discarded by businesses and households. In the minds and hands of creative individuals – teachers, artists and children – these “clean scraps” take on new life, beneficial to both children’s learning processes and the environment.

For Kids
Trash to Treasure members believe that imagination, play and learning are inseparable and that providing children with open ended materials stimulates discovery and develops problem-solving skills. Children who learn to think and create perform better academically and develop healthy self-esteem. |

For The Environment
Trash to Treasure members are committed to reducing and recycling waste. Recycling saves money, energy and reduces air and water pollution while protecting our precious natural resources. Reusing clean scrap not only reduces disposal costs for businesses, it also reduces new product consumption, which also impacts the environment. As we learn to re-use what is available, the demand for a continuing supply of raw materials, and the associated environmental impact, is significantly reduced. |
