Creative Reuse Center of Rhode Island
Where some see trash,
we see potential.
The Creative Reuse Center of RI, like its counterparts across the country, turns extra materials and supplies from manufacturers and businesses into treasures for educators, artists, kids, and community members. We save reusable materials from the landfill and provide them at affordable prices so you can use them to learn, discover, and create.
Businesses
If you are a business with excess products, materials, or scraps, please consider donating them to the CRC! Your organization and community will greatly benefit!
Educators
As you know, when children are given the freedom and support to play, they are able to engage in learning that develops their mind, skills, and belief in themselves. We want to provide you with the materials you need to help your students develop their ideas, build their inventions, and materialize their dreams. Also, cool stuff makes teaching fun.
Artists
Rhode Island artists are innovative, imaginative, and life-changing. We want to provide you with the materials you need to create, innovate, and inspire.
