East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse

"A haven for creatives! Our local reuse place shut down recently and it was such a treat to get to shop here. Well organized and a fantastic variety for the relatively small space. A must-visit for any maker of things."

"Volunteered here for sewing class twice. I've passed many times over the years but never went in. Great organization devoted to reuse and repurpose of items that would end up in landfill. Lots of great and unique items at fab prices. Wonderful staff too."

"Wow! What a store. We were recommended to come here because my son loves books (They have a giat section of National Geography.) Our daughter is a little artsy. She loves art and craft since she was one year old. She got a big nice fablic for 25 cents! I got myself a very nice tea cups from England for $1! And 2 coffee cups from Japan for $1.50 each. What a deal! They have pretty everything. Children books are only $1! If you are thrifty or just want to save money on art projects, this is your place. Super friendly and helpful staff. Mask is still required."

"The other evening, I was walking with my partner after dinner at a local restaurant, and I saw a business that had their doors wide open--inviting us in. I didn't recognize the business at first. Then I remembered it!!! Previously, I used EBDCR, as a place to take my leftover art and office supplies, and other items that I had laying around that I didn't need anymore. So, if you're looking for something unusual, this is a place to go. You might find what you're looking for, and you might find something that you didn't know you were looking for for--like the red feathered headdress I found there. It was was a little tattered, but it looked pretty cool on my head. I asked how much it was, and it was only $2. So, I got it, and paraded around town with it on my head rhe rest of the evening. When I was a teacher. I was always looking for fun stuff to spice up my classroom. Teacher's and get free stuff here!!! Can you believe it? You will never know what you find there. If you really want it--better get it--because it probably won't be there tomorrow. If you have too much STUFF, and you want to get rid of clutter, this may be a place where you can unload old treasures. Better call before you take your "jewels" there to find out what they need, and when their drop off times are."
