St. Louis Teachers’ Recycle Center (SLTRC) has been serving St. Louis teachers and students and keeping usable materials out of landfills since 1993, 

Your support and donations help us put our mission into action by:

• Operating, supporting, and promoting use of our Reusable Resources Center in St. Louis, for the collection and distribution of the materials used in motivating creative learning.
• Inspiring and assisting businesses, locally and nationally, in the disposal of unwanted materials in an environmentally-responsible manner.
• Asserting the well-researched but little known importance of creative process over product, guided experience over result, and experience of potential versus conformity in the childhood expression of art;
• Providing training and other development services, locally and nationally, for teachers, parents, child care providers, artists, youth of all ages, and the community at large, in the creative use of discarded resources for teaching, learning, and experiencing art, science, language, and math;
• Traveling to schools, childcare centers, and other venues to deliver developmentally-appropriate workshops allowing children to explore and reflect on the creative process through experiential art
