The Waste Not Center (WNC) receives donations from individuals and businesses of art/school/office supplies that would otherwise be discarded and makes them available to teachers, artists and non-profit organizations at no charge other than a small annual membership fee for those using the items.

The Waste Not Center now has 9 neighborhood drop-offs where you can leave a grocery bag or two of art/school/office supplies for donation.  Locations include the Whetstone Community Center, 3923 N. High St.; Greenovate, 9 E. Second Ave.; Indianola Church of Christ, 2141 Indianola Ave.; Generation Green, 6375 Sawmill Rd. in Dublin; and WattWorks, 1078 Goodale Blvd. Each location has a 55-gallon fiber drum with the Waste Not Center logo and a list of the kinds of things we need.  Please let your friends and work associates know about this.  We are finding that almost everyone has accumulated school/office supplies in their homes that they would like to get rid of in some way other than sending them to the landfill.
