We advocate educational excellence for the benefit of children through interactive, hands-on experiential learning. To do this, we promote the development of Reusable Resource Centers

to provide free/low cost instructional materials, donated by businesses, individuals and manufacturers as their unwanted by-products, rejects, overruns and obsolete materials. SLTRC offers creative solutions for problems facing education, business and the environment. Recycling valuable reusable material resources into the hands of teachers and parents, who in turn, will use them with our children to discover new and creative ways of thinking and solving problems. The St. Louis Teachers Recycle Center is irrevocably dedicated to and operated exclusively for non-profit purposes:

• To operate, support and promote use of the Reusable Resources Centers in St. Louis, for the collection and distribution of the materials used in motivating creative learning.

• To assist the Missouri Network of Reuse Centers in establishing and supporting school based Reuse Centers throughout Missouri for the collection and distribution of materials used to motivate creative learning and thinking.

• To assist in establishing and supporting school or community-based Reuse Centers in the United States for the collection and distribution of materials used to motivate creative learning and thinking.

• To promote and provide training and other development services, locally and nationally, for the benefit of teachers, parents, child care providers, artists, youth of all ages, and the community at large, in the creative use of discarded resources for teaching and learning.

• To inspire businesses, locally and nationally, and to assist the greater St. Louis and St Charles communities businesses in the disposal of unwanted materials in an environmentally responsible manner.
