The WasteShed is MOVING! Help us grow!

The WasteShed will be moving into a new space in January of 2023!

In September of this year, we got the news that The WasteShed's creative reuse center on Chicago Avenue will be redeveloped into condos in 2023, and our tenancy here is at an end. We have negotiated a move out date of January 1st, 2023, and are currently working out our new location; we are committed to staying close to our Humboldt Park community.

We are very sad to leave our lovely little block on Chicago Ave, with all our awesome neighbors, and the farm and the trains and the good lunch spots. In the spirit of reuse, we are choosing to see this change as an opportunity to reimagine the organization, expand our space and our programming, and metamorphose to better meet the growing demand for the resources we provide.

We need to raise $23,000 by December 31st to cover the costs of moving to our new location, including the deposit, first month's rent, hiring movers, new shelving and lighting for our new larger location, and staff time for coordinating the move and setting up the new space.

We are very excited for the opportunities presented by this new space; donate today and you'll be the first to know the details as they develop!

Thank you so much for your support during this absolutely wild year, we could never have made it this far without our wonderful community behind us all the way.
