Magpie is a non-profit creative reuse center in Kansas City. Like all magpies, we are collectors. Our focus is collecting and reselling leftover and remnant material, and providing education and resources to encourage reuse. Everything we do is centered on using collective effort to keep things useful longer.
Our goals are to:
1) Divert waste from the landfill through material reuse: Maximizing the usefulness of materials by mobilizing staff, volunteers and partners to collect, process and resell used or remnant items;
2) Educate: Teach skills and processes related to reuse, upcycling, downcycling, recycling and repair, to retain value of materials;
3) Innovate: Lead, collaborate and inspire creative approaches to the environmental problem of material waste, particularly by providing resources and opportunity for artists, makers and small business owners.
