Denver, Do it yourself, Harvest Day, Recycling, Upcycling, Waste management

Every few months we set aside some time as a design team to go through our library and purge discontinued samples or ones we no longer use. We often donate our samples to area schools, but this time we loaded up the car and headed to Harvest Days.  Harvest Days is an event put on by ZeroLandfill Denver that allows design firms like Associates III, to donate their samples for the public to come and pick out what they would like for free. It’s a way to keep materials out of the landfill and upcycle them into something useful for your home, classroom, etc.  We love this idea and were happy we could help!

9 News even highlighted the upcoming Harvest Days: click here for their report.

The first Harvest Day is this Friday, August 23rd from 3:00-6:00. The second opportunity to obtain free items to use for projects is September 6th, from 3:00-6:00. The location is the Design Materials warehouse located at 10498 East 49thAvenue in Denver. Never know what you might find!

Samples!
