About This Location

FabScrap is a nonprofit fabric and textile recycling organization with its warehouse at the Brooklyn Army Terminal (140 58th Street, Building B) in Sunset Park. It collects commercial textile waste - fabric swatches, headers, cuttings, production scrap, yardage, notions, trims, leather hides and yarn cones - sorts it with the help of volunteers, and diverts it from landfill for reuse and recycling. This is a textile operation, not a scrap-metal yard or a municipal drop-off, and it does not accept used clothing or other post-consumer textiles.
