Imagine my surprise finding out from my mom about a pilot program called ZeroLandfill in Akron, Ohio who's main objective is keeping leftover samples previously used by architectural and interior design companies from ever reaching a landfill. An example is shown below.
These leftovers are then provided free to local artists, educators and junkers across the Buckeye state. The best news is the program has been so well received it will continue to grow across the land to other states too!
Check out ZeroLandfill for more information. What a fantastic program!

What a cool idea - and free stufff!! I work for an architect, so I have access to all our outdated stuff - and have a whole stack of ceramic tile samples - to do some mosaic work... Now, I think I'll go take a look at some wall fabric... - how about a patchwork wall??? Maybe a little too over-the-top?? ha ha
