Austin Creative Reuse is a Austin based non-profit that aims to foster conservation, education, and community building through the creative reuse of old items and the reuse of creative items! We take in ~50,000 lbs. of donations every month and we rely on volunteers to help us process all those donations! Most items we resell at our center at very accessible price points, but we also donate supplies to schools, and attend community events to teach our youngest generations about creative reuse.

Come help us sort out sticker donations! We will start by sorting the stickers into a few categories and then we will bundle them together in themed packs. Some of the stickers will be pricing for individual sale. It's a very fun and engaging project. Children are welcome but we do require anyone under the age of 15 to be accompanied by an adult.
