At ReCreate we collect surplus materials from businesses for use as art, craft, play and educational materials by thousands of groups working with children, young people, the active retired and others.

Free Collection

We collect for free – we’re aiming to redistribute around 250 tonnes a year locally for creative reuse. We can arrange collections on an ad hoc or on-going basis.

Benefits

Would you like to create a better environment for future generations, while at the same time encouraging creativity and invention in Ireland’s future engineers, teachers, and scientists? Then why not donate your excess materials to ReCreate!

Economic

ReCreate will gladly take your unwanted and unused materials without any cost at one van load at a time. Or you can deliver your materials to our Warehouse of Wonders where our workers will efficiently unload the delivery. We will save you money by diverting your materials away from landfill.

Environmental

By donating your company’s unwanted materials you are also helping the environment. Energy, fuel, and water goes into the production of paper, plastics, cardboard, and fabric to name a few. The extraction of raw materials in addition to the manufacturing and disposal of such materials contribute to the carbon footprint. Moreover, landfills are limited in space and create toxic and undesirable environments for the people who live near them.

ReCreate reduces our carbon footprint, which helps mitigate the effects of climate change, conserves our limited resources, and keeps landfills from overflowing by being the best alternative resort for unwanted and reusable materials. We not only bring joy and creativity to communities, we are also creating and promoting a healthier environment for ourselves and for future generations.

Social

ReCreate strives to be the social enterprise that upholds its mission to create an inclusive space for all communities through the art of reuse. Your unwanted materials will be accessible and affordable to every sector of the community and will be adored by members with and without disabilities. The majority of our memberships is held by early childhood centers, schools, youth groups, community arts organizations and arts-based initiatives in mental health, disability, and disadvantage. Your company will help create an impact by providing the tools needed to encourage innovation and creativity for the future engineers, teachers, scientists, and leaders of Ireland.
