Donations

Do you have unused art supplies but not want the hassle of selling yourself? 

We're thrilled to accept your donations of unwanted art and craft supplies.

At Peo Vee, we believe the best way to reduce waste is to use what already exists. As a community-driven platform for upcyclers, we provide resources, education, and inspiration to help people turn discarded materials into new creations. Our members share projects, attend workshops, and connect over a shared mission to make reuse mainstream.

Remnants extends this vision by giving secondhand art and craft supplies a new life. By making pre-owned materials accessible and affordable, we support both sustainability and creativity, diverting usable goods from landfills and into the hands of makers.

Your contributions help fuel our mission to make selling, and buying creative reuse accessible to all. 

 

We offer local pickup for larger donations within the LA Area — inquire by email at hello@peovee.com

Not local? Not a problem. You can still donate your craft supplies to Remnants.

If you have a collection of materials looking for a new home, send us a few photos. If they're a good fit for our marketplace, we'll help coordinate the rest, including a prepaid shipping label for most donations.

Why do you need photos first?

Reviewing donations beforehand helps us make sure we can responsibly reuse what you're sending and keeps shipping costs focused on materials that will find a new home.
What kinds of items do you accept?

Acceptable Donations

We accept clean, reusable arts and crafts materials, including but not limited to:

  • Fabric remnants and textiles
  • Yarn, thread, and embroidery floss
  • Paper (cardstock, scrapbook paper, etc.)
  • Paints, brushes, and art supplies (non-toxic only)

Items must be:

  • In good, reusable condition.
  • Free from mold, pests, and strong odors (e.g., smoke or mildew).

Items We Cannot Accept

To comply with California regulations and ensure safety, we cannot accept:

  • Hazardous or toxic materials (e.g., oil-based paints, solvents, adhesives with toxic warnings).
  • Electronics (e.g., glue guns, lamps, or devices requiring batteries/power).
  • Large or bulky items like sewing machines

Do I have to pay for shipping?

If your donation is approved, we'll provide a prepaid shipping label.
What carrier will I use?

Depending on the size and weight of your boxes, we may use USPS, UPS, or FedEx.
Can I use multiple boxes?

Absolutely. Just send us the weight and dimensions for each box after you've packed them.
Is my donation tax deductible?

No. Remnants is a creative reuse marketplace, not a nonprofit organization, so donations are not tax deductible.

That said, your donation helps give creative materials a second life by connecting them with artists, teachers, makers, and other creative people who will put them to use instead of letting them go to waste.
