The Problem
At the end of the school year, large amounts of usable school supplies—such as notebooks, pencils, folders, and art materials—are often thrown away by students and teachers. These items end up in landfills despite being in good condition and potentially useful to others. This waste contributes to environmental harm and overlooks the needs of students and teachers who lack access to basic supplies. This project aims to reduce this waste by collecting leftover school supplies and donating them to a creative reuse center like ScrapsKC, where they can be redistributed or repurposed for educational and creative use.
