Material Requests

One of our says at The Scrap Exchange that is also an organizational ethos is “we have everything in abundance!”.

We are very fortunate to have so much material for sale in our store, use in our programs, and to share with the community. If you have a need for an item that we sell in-store and are interested in a material donation, please read the terms below and fill out the following form.

We are happy to consider pro-bono material donations to organizations, individuals, or groups that meet the following criteria:

  • you are a 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(8) nonprofit organization

  • you are an educator or city of Durham department

  • you operate under the social work or mental health umbrella

As is The Scrap’s model, we have some items that we have a lot of, some that we have a little, and our inventory is constantly changing. Please be concise in your request but also keep the following notes in mind:

  • most of the items we are happy to part with are what we receive in bulk such as toilet paper rolls, binders, notebooks, pill bottles, fabric, yarn, and other fiber or crafting materials

  • we are not able to make donations on a micro level - for each material donation request we require that you take at least a large plastic tote’s worth of items

  • we require at least 7 business days worth of notice for all material requests

  • we require a small “materials provided by The Scrap Exchange” sign to be displayed at the site of donated materials
