scrapstores or equivilant places?

Former Member

i'm trying to find places to go and get scraps of stuff for creative projects. i'd prefer to pay very very very little, and all the scrapstore places i've looked at will only allow charities or groups to join up and have some of their stuff...

does anyone have any ideas if theres somewhere online i can buy bits of scrap materials and things from or if theres anywhere in the london area i can go to?

thanks!

I would of thought you would be better off going down your local dump?

Have you tried freecycle? I'm subscribed to the leicester one and its a load of rubbish, but still it's there if you need it.

my local dump doesn't do things like that. they don't fo fabric recycling or anything like that.

freecycle is ok, but its seriously pot luck. i've had to wait months and months before anything has come up before.

Have you tried a wanted ad in freecycle for old clothes/scraps. Sure if you make your case well enough you might get plenty of interest. Most people have a clothes at the back of wardrobes they can't be bothered getting rid of?

i have numerous times and seem to get little back. thats why i wanted to go to a scrap store, then i now i can come back with something rather than trek accross london to find it really isn't what i wanted in the first place.
