Who donates to The I.D.E.A. Store?

All those who are drowning in stuff, enter here. The I.D.E.A. Store accepts clean donations large and small, from individuals, groups, and businesses. We love to rescue stuff that might have gone to waste. Items once destined for life beneath the landfill can become part of something much bigger.

• If you’ve got extra stuff around the house from moving, cleaning, downsizing, or just general domestic overload – let you clutter become our bread and butter.
• If your business generates materials that go unused – we’ll take discards and find a way to make them new again. Whatever you make, sell, or use, there are probably residual materials. Let us help you achieve ZERO WASTE!
• If you’re an artist or crafter who’s inspiration has taken elsewhere – bring your old materials in and find a new muse.
• If you’ve gone out of business, we’re really sorry to hear that! But we’d love to take your supplies and items and give them one last hurrah.

There are endless reasons you might have extra stuff, and plenty of ways to get rid of it. But know this – donating to The I.D.E.A. Store contributes to the greater good instead of helping the trash heap. Your donation benefits the community, the schools, and the environment. It’s a pretty easy decision, really.

Check out our material donation page for a complete list of accepted items and guidelines.
