ABOUT BRIGHT IDEAS

Bright Ideas Scrap Scheme is a resource centre based in Colchester, providing art and craft materials to schools and community groups, childminders and home educators.

We collect, sort and store waste and surplus materials donated by local businesses for members to collect and use for art and craft.

Businesses can offer almost any non-toxic waste and surplus materials to the scheme, as a result the range of materials varies from week to week. An up to date list can be found on a separate page.

For a small annual subscription members can access the store as often as they require. The scheme is run by a not for profit workers co-operative and is part funded by Essex County Council.

By using the waste materials for art and craft, the environment benefits by reducing the amount of waste requiring disposal. By offering these materials to community groups the scheme helps children and special needs adults to develop their imaginative skills.
