Scrapstore means business when it comes to reducing waste.

Every day offices and factories generate tons of waste and offcuts that
is sent to landfill for disposal but a lot of it can be reused.
The Swindon Scrapstore takes material that would otherwise be
thrown away and offers it to community groups which can use them for
creative play and education. And they will even collect suitable waste
from companies free of charge, sort and bag it where appropriate,
before making it available to schools and playgroups.
Almost anything clean and non-toxic such as paper, fabric, wood and
even nails and screws can be put to good use. Some 100 companies
across the town supply the Swindon Scrapstore, but there are many
more which could make use of their service.
If your business can supply reusable waste or if you represent a
community group that would like to use these materials, call Swindon
Scrapstore on 513982.
The Scrapstore is also keen to attract volunteers to prepare stock for
selection. They can either help out in their premises at the Pinehurst
People's Centre, or have materials delivered to their homes to sort. Constantly shifting ottd sorting or the Swindon Scrapstore, from left Derek
