Yes

You can schedule an appointment to bring in large amounts of craft item or bring in one box or bag everyday from 11am to 7pm weekly. Also you can visit their website for more information.

Yes! They do have ornaments😊

Yes, I've seen all of those for sale.

We accept one box per household per day as a walk-in donation during regular shop hours (11 AM – 5 PM daily). No appointment necessary. If you have more than one box, check our website for information on how to make an appointment. All details can be found by going to www.pccr.org, clicking on Donate > Material Donations. Thank you!

Hi there! Yes, we accept books related to art, craft, and DIY. Please visit our website for more information about how to donate. https://pccr.org/donate/

Hi there! We do accept encyclopedias. Our appointment scheduler is working. We have limited appointments at the moment and are only scheduling 60 days from the current date. You'll have to check back with the scheduler. Blue dates are available. Gray dates are not available. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Hi Don, We're not open to the public yet, but we are accepting donations. You can find more information about this on our website: https://pccr.org/donate/material-donations-new/ There's this list of other places to donate on our website: https://pccr.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Where-to-Take-It-2019.pdf. And, there's also this great resource you can use: https://recyclethispgh.com/ Thank you.

We are still operating. Only our store is closed to in-person shopping. We have many shopping and educational options available through our website. Also, we are accepting donations by appointment. Please visit our website for information about donating materials: https://pccr.org/donate/material-donations-new/. Thank you!

Hello Obi, By shifting our focus to our online store for the time being, we are able to wait to reopen until it feels totally safe to do so. We think that it would not be worth reopening to the public if even one person got sick as a result, so instead, we have committed to restructuring to be the safest version of Creative Reuse that we can be. Although we don't have plans for in-person shopping in the immediate future, we are definitely brainstorming about the ways we will ease back into our in-person operations while we closely monitor the situation in Pittsburgh. Please keep an eye on our website and social media for all updates! Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you in person sometime in the future!

I have seen darkroom enlargers for sale there so I do know they will accept it.

No not at this time

It's hit or miss. You never know what they have.

Only if someone has donated them recently.

They do have a small book section. Any arts/crafts how-to books they'd def take.

Yes

Yes, they normally do, but sometimes they get so stocked up on certain things that they won't accept them until their stock goes down. Call to be sure they are currently taking them.

I would suggest a 61C or 61D and walking from Murray. Alternatively, you could take any 61 and get off at Wightman and walk there. You could also take or transfer to the 65 if that is convenient. It can get you closer, but I think it runs less often.
