We've started a new recycling initiative in the USA!
Summer of 2019, Save A Sample! launched a new program to increase our recycling efforts - Save A Sample! for Art.
Save A Sample! for Art allows designers to recycle their samples 365 days a year!
We've designed Save A Sample! for Art to dramatically expand the amount of design materials Save A Sample! redirects from landfill. Instead of damaging our environment, the design materials we rescue benefit disabled artisans and other arts programs. Save A Sample! for Art design firm participants simply fill a box with design materials (i.e. fabric, stone, laminate, wood, etc) and register to donate your samples using the design firm link. We then coordinate the donation to one of our artisan groups and send you shipping label(s), along with our box labels.
Best part, thanks to Armstrong and their support, it's completely free to artisan groups and design firms.
Recycling for good. Not for profit.
To register as an artisan group who accepts samples, please sign up here.
Design firms & vendors please follow the steps below to prepare your sample boxes and to register.
1. Find a banker (copy paper) box. Place the box in your office and alert your team to put any discontinued or unneeded samples in the box.
2. When the box is full (we will not accept boxes that exceed 40 lbs. or are over stuffed), register using the appropriate link below:
- Design firms register here
- Vendors register here
3. When we receive your registration, we will create your shipping label(s) and send them, along with our Save A Sample! for Art box labels which you will need to tape to your box(s). Current turnaround time is approximately 1-2 weeks.
4. Once you receive your shipping labels, you have three options to ship your sample box(s):
- If your firm already has a scheduled UPS pick up, you can add your sample box(s) to that pick up
- If your firm receives a UPS package, you can have the carrier take your sample box(s) at that time
- You can drop off your box(s) of samples at the closest UPS drop off location
*All boxes are to be shipped within 3 business days.
5. Put out another box for your team to fill again. (To allow the maximum number of firms to participate, you can register to donate 2 boxes per 45 days)
