Classroom Contributions
It's no surprise that teachers are always in need of supplies.
Choose a school to support, select items you have on-hand to donate, and schedule a drop-off with us to bring them to WasteShed. We'll get them to the schools!
Currently Accepting Material Donations by Appointments Only*
Besides contributing to a classroom, you can also support us through a contribution of funds or by donating materials to the WasteShed. Before you donate, check our list of materials we accept and do not accept.
Donating through PayPal directly keeps donations within the WasteShed community and helps support our mission.
