Do you have unused art supplies but not want the hassle of selling yourself?
We're thrilled to accept your donations of unwanted art and craft supplies.
At Peo Vee, we believe the best way to reduce waste is to use what already exists. As a community-driven platform for upcyclers, we provide resources, education, and inspiration to help people turn discarded materials into new creations. Our members share projects, attend workshops, and connect over a shared mission to make reuse mainstream.
Our shop extends this vision by giving secondhand art and craft supplies a new life. By making pre-owned materials accessible and affordable, we support both sustainability and creativity, diverting usable goods from landfills and into the hands of makers.Your contributions help fuel our mission to make selling, and buying creative reuse accessible to all.
We offer local pickup for larger donations within the LA Area — inquire by email at hello@peovee.com

Do you pickup large donations?
Yes, we will pickup large, pre-approved donations within the Los Angeles and surrounding areas.
Do I have to pay for shipping?
If your donation is approved, we'll provide a prepaid shipping label.
What carrier will I use?
Depending on the size and weight of your boxes, we may use USPS, UPS, or FedEx.
Can I use multiple boxes?
Absolutely. Just send us the weight and dimensions for each box after you've packed them.
Is my donation tax deductible?
No. Remnants is a creative reuse marketplace, not a nonprofit organization, so donations are not tax deductible.
That said, your donation helps give creative materials a second life by connecting them with artists, teachers, makers, and other creative people who will put them to use instead of letting them go to waste.
