Recycle Art & Office Supplies
The ReCollective Finds Reuse for Art & Office Supplies
Your old supplies have the power to inspire! Our local partners will find new homes for them, where they can support both kids and adults in the community. By passing them along, you’re helping others make the most of these resources.
Art and Office supplies should be placed in the ReCo Pick Bag during designated months.

How does The ReCollective recycle art & office supplies?
Your supplies are brought back to our Durham, NC warehouse, where they are sorted into categories and then distributed to our community partners.
At The ReCollective, we recycle art and office across the Triangle, NC, including Durham, Raleigh, Cary, and Chapel Hill, as well as through our Almost Anything Bag Mailback program. We’re dedicated to giving your art supplies a second life.
Art and office supplies are collected through the ReCo Pick in addition to our other core hard-to-recycle materials that are collected each pickup.
