Great for non-profits and moms

East Bay Depot is a great place if you're looking stationary or other items for a non-profit. I've found foam board, adding machine paper and envelopes that I can use as well as fun items to give to kids at our events. We turned 300 plastic lids into great frisbees for kids. I've also found great materials that my son and I can use at home to make projects. Lots of corks, spools, fabric, yarn, etc. He and I love to go just to see what we'll find, because it's always different. You just need to bring your imagination. I'm so glad the Depot exists, because it keeps so many things out of the landfill. that would otherwise have just been thrown away.

Favorite place for unusual things...

If you have never been -- get off at the MacArthur BART station and walk a few blocks up Telegraph to the East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse. This place is an inspiration -- and it's also a great place to donate your unfinished projects, excess supplies or other odds and ends that you think might be useful in someone's art/burningman/school project.

"The East Bay Depot has paper, art supplies, posters, fabric, sewing/knitting supplies, teaching materials, books, magazines, candles, greeting cards, foamcore, masonite, chalk/cork boards, pens, pencils, markers, audio tapes, CD cases, shoe boxes, video tapes, glass jars, film canisters, lab glass, mosiac tiles, paint samples, carpet samples, maps, blueprints, x-rays, envelopes, trophies, frames, artwork, toys, puzzles, games, office supplies, binders, rubber bands, traffic light lenses, slides, found photos, paint, glue, printmaking supplies, rubber stamps, beads, jewelry, faux flowers, brick-a-brack, and collectible do-dads galore. This and so much more, with new items coming in every day."
