More About Austin Creative Reuse:
At ACR’s creative reuse center, you can let your imagination run wild and save the planet at the same time. Creative reuse keeps usable materials out of the landfill; saves the natural resources that would have been used to make those materials from new; reduces the climate impacts of waste disposal; improves access to affordable creative materials; and fosters creativity by asking folks to rethink “stuff.”
To date, ACR has diverted more than two million pounds of usable creative materials from the landfill and hosted hundreds of workshops and community events to promote creative reuse. Our diversion rate is more than 96% meaning that we send less than 4% of the materials donations we receive in our center to the landfill. We welcome about 3,000 visitors per month to our creative reuse center and receive approximately 10,000 volunteer hours per year donated to the organization. We are hard at work creating a vibrant community hub where all kinds of people can come together to shop, explore and create.
