OMGosh! I had no idea all that would land in the dump.

What a waste for the areas that do not have this opportunity.

You really made out. Hope you are able to make use of it all.

What a waste. I would hire a truck. Can't believe they just dump it. Why not give it to charities to make stuff with. :thumbdown:

I think this is why they go retrieve it. Each week they make a trip to SF to the showrooms and pick up boxs/bags of this. Last load they picked up 1200 lbs worth. They put so much time and effort into gathering this. Volunteers come sort it, fold and display it in piles by size and then its free to the public to come and collect. Its boggling. And so very sad. We are allowed to take as much as we like just not sell it in the form we receive it in. Once we make something we can sell it. They even get wall paper samples (great for card making), huge boxs of tassels on occasion (those curtain ties?). Yesterday the tile was calling to me but I dont do tile work so I held back. Could be a fun art to learn however. I have been going for two years now. I love the companionship of other people who create. Amazing the ideas they throw around. If you can go to the website www.fabmo.org and check out what has been made by the gatherers of throw away fabric. Such creative ideas.

I wonder how we can get something started like that in our area? How would we go about doing it? who would we contact?
