The WasteShed is turning 10, and we are raising funds to celebrate our anniversary! Over the last 10 years, The WasteShed has become a source of abundance and opportunity for Chicago's creative and educational communities, diverting an estimated $3.5 million worth of materials away from the landfill and back into local schools, art organizations and studios. We are asking our community to support us in raising $30k by September 30th; help us out, ya'll! Why "A Decade of Decay," you ask? We're embracing entropy and honoring the scavengers and microbes that keep our ecosystems running.

关于我们
The WasteShed is Chicago's creative reuse center. We collect reusable art, school, and office supplies that would otherwise be thrown away, and make them available to teachers, artists, and the general public at low prices. Our goals are to be an abundant resource for the city's creative and educational communities, to engage the public around issues of sustainability, and to divert cool stuff away from landfills and into projects great and small. We put an average of 50 tons of materials, with an estimated value of $450,000, back into the community every year. We opened in September of 2014 in the Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago.
