Sensible Alternatives

One Man's Garbage ...
Most companies are not aware that the millions of cast-off pieces thrown away each day may, in fact, have a million applications when used by teachers and students.

If your company has clean fall-off, overruns, outdated stock, or seconds crowding your warehouse or overflowing your waste stream, call us! We have a sensible alternative for your valuable excess.

Off-spec goods, items past the expiration date, misprinted material, overruns, and end bolts of fabric are all quality materials that no longer have a value to a manufacturer, but make great fun stuff for children that is educational, too!

... Another Man's Gold
Your contributions of clean by-products will help RRIE supply materials that may be used as an educational resource. These materials are important in educational programs designed to meet National Standard requirements, allowing teachers to provide virtually limitless creative opportunities for their students.
