This organization will pick up any materials and clutter from your apartment, warehouse, or office. These “art materials” will then donated to an organization in need such as not-for-profit arts and cultural groups, NYC Department of Education art teachers, ongoing art programs, or government agencies. Apply to donate or receive. Great way to reuse what would otherwise end up in a landfill. They also provide workshops at a $10 nominal fee.
