How To Donate Gently Used Art Craft Supplies in Rockford

Bring them to The Scrap Jar to donate. They’ll sort and sell them.

Preparing for the Scrap Jar

To prepare for the Scrap Jar, you’ll want to gather the necessary supplies and materials. Here are some items to consider collecting:

Metal cans and containers

Glass bottles and jars

Cardboard and paper products

Plastic containers and bottles

Fabric scraps and textiles

Electronics and batteries

Other recyclable materials

You can find these items in your home, garage, or local community. Get creative and think about what you can reuse or repurpose.

Remove lids, labels, and caps from containers

Clean and rinse materials to remove dirt and debris

Sort materials into categories (e.g. metal, glass, cardboard)

Remove any hazardous materials (e.g. batteries, electronics with wires)

Shred or tear paper products into smaller pieces

The Scrap Jar team will take care of pre-sorting and processing your donations. However, you can help make the process easier by:

Using the donation station at the shop

Bringing rolling carts to help transport materials

Labeling materials with their contents and any relevant information

Providing clear instructions on how to use the materials

The Scrap Jar is a community-driven initiative, and there are many ways to get involved.
