Art of Recycle is creating and developing an outreach program that could very well change the way people think about their stuff. 


Your donated excess resources and teaching supplies help to provide programs that assist youth and adults who are less likely to succeed due to disabilities and disadvantages. We offer programs that are needed when the traditional educational system is not enough.

Art of Recycle provides a low stress environment and a variety of learning solutions that help people with high anxiety disorders.


We employ students who may not otherwise be able to be employed because their anxiety or learning disorders are not accepted within the current industry. Your donations, your social  interactions, and your crafting and shopping experience are used as learning tools within our facility.


We use your discarded items to heal and grow community.
