| History of The Scrap Exchange |
The Scrap Exchange was founded in 1991 by a small group of people who were seeking to establish a sustainable supply of high-quality, low-cost materials for artists, educators, parents, and other creative people.
One of the founders, Chris Rosenthal, had worked in Australia for an organization called The Reverse Garbage Truck, and The Scrap Exchange was patterned on that organization. For the first 9 years of its existence, The Scrap Exchange was housed in donated space at Northgate Mall. In January 2000, the store moved to its present location in Liberty Warehouse in the Central Park district of downtown Durham. |
