What To Do With Return to A-Z Guide

Art supplies

Art supplies, such as paintbrushes, canvases, crayons, markers, chalk, stencils etc. that are gently used and in good usable condition are often accepted for donation at locations throughout the A2 Area Reuse Network.

Recycle Right!

Do not put art supplies other than uncoated paper in your curbside recycling cart. Paintbrushes, crayons, markers, canvas, glitter, etc., are not recyclable and can damage equipment and contaminate other recyclables, turning them into trash instead of being recycled.

Choose Zero Waste!

Squeeze out small amounts of paint at a time to ensure you use it all, use cloths instead of paper towels, and consider reusing canvases by painting over them.
