Located in Gardena, Trash for Teaching is dedicated to strengthening education and promoting environmental awareness through creative reuse. By making our materials readily available to schools and teachers, we help bridge the cap between the excess waste created in manufacturing processes and the lack of materials in public education. Use of our materials encourages critical thinking and fuels the imagination by challenging children and teachers to find creative applications for non-traditional objects. Our ultimate goal is to unify all community sectors, from children, parents, and teachers to manufacturers and environmentalists by developing sustainable systems of reuse that foster creativity in education
