Send us your reuse ideas!

As you know, we really like to push the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle mantra around here. We love to see the items we sell (or anything, really) reused or repurposed in creative ways. If you've been to the store in the past few months, you probably saw our Reuse slideshow on the Surplus TV. Now's your chance to get in on it!

As you start your next project, take some Before photos of the raw materials, and send them along with some After photos when you're done. If your project is already finished and on display, just send us a photo of your art, DIY, or household creativity along with a list of what you used and how. We'll start incorporating them into the Surplus TV slideshow right away, and in the future you'll be able to earn points toward Surplus Store & Recycling rewards! If you're stuck, or don't know where to start, check our "Great reuse/repurpose ideas" board on Pinterest. If you have great ideas, but you're not very crafty, just send us a set of instructions--maybe someone else will like your idea enough to give it a try!
