Don't know what to do with the leftover bits from the school year?

Here you go!

Hey parents! Are your kids finishing up with school? Do they have old notebooks and plastic folders they’re getting rid of? Maybe they were just going to toss them in the garbage?

CAN I HAVE THEM?
Students - same question!

I can make cool stuff out of your garbage, so let me know if I can have it?
