Austin Creative Reuse operates a nonprofit retail facility in Austin, Texas that centers on diverting surplus art and craft materials from landfills. The organization collects donations from individuals and businesses, processes them, and resells the items as affordable supplies. Since its launch of the city's first creative reuse center in September 2015, it has redirected over three million pounds of usable materials away from the waste stream and has hosted numerous workshops and community events to foster reuse. Its typical audience includes artists, educators, and community members seeking inexpensive, sustainable materials for projects, supported by ongoing education and outreach activities. The operation sits within the retail art supplies sector, positioned as a conservation-minded nonprofit focused on waste reduction through material reuse. In 2026, the group planned to take part in the Spring Reuse Art Market, reflecting continued engagement with the local creative community.
