Tell us about your Waste Climate Action Day!
Waste > End of Year Classroom Cleanout
Have extra supplies to clean out? Don’t throw them out!
We partner with Materials for the Arts (MFTA) to keep classroom supplies out of landfills.
Have your own supply swap at your school to trade excess supplies with your colleagues.
This is an option you can put together with your colleagues and PA/PTA.
Check out this flyer for guidance:
Bring supplies to MFTA’s warehouse in Long Island City.
For questions about what MFTA accepts, view the Donation Guide or email donations@mfta.nyc.gov.
If your school has a Care Closet, bring any supplies that are specifically for students (like composition notebooks or binders). For more information about Care Closets, visit the Project Open Arms Infohub and their Care Closet 1-pager.
