What we accept
We rescue clean, reusable materials and give them a new life through arts, crafts, education and creative reuse.
Before you bring anything
Send us a photo first
Our storage space is limited, so please contact us before bringing donations, particularly large or bulky ones. Send photos of what you have and we'll check that it's suitable and that we have room. Not sure? Send a photo anyway. You'd be surprised what our members can turn into something amazing.

Film, TV, theatre and retail
Clearing a set, shop or show?
If you're clearing a film or TV set, theatre production, shop window, exhibition, event or display, think of us before anything goes in the skip. Props, backdrops, fabrics, boards, unusual packaging and production leftovers often have a second life here.
