FY2020 Annual Report

If we could sum up FY2020 in one word, it would be: GROWTH. So many incredible things took place, including the big move! Here are just a few highlights of all we were able to accomplish with the support of our community:

• We opened our new Creative Reuse Center in the Windsor Park neighborhood of Austin in March 2020. The new space is over 11,000 square feet, 7 times the size of our original center, and offers new ways to explore, conserve and create with ACR.
• Volunteers donated nearly 10,000 hours of their time to sort donations, help out at events, and of course - move us into our new space!
• 262,000 pounds of donated materials were diverted from the landfill
• We had a 97% diversion rate - that means 97% of materials that came into the doors of our center either found new homes through our shoppers, or through our partner organizations.
• Our Closed Loop School Supply Program was piloted with two elementary schools
• ACR was named a platinum-level Austin Green Business Leader
