The Scrap Exchange is a treasured Durham institution touted as the largest creative reuse center in the country where you can find odds an ends, craft materials, building supplies and so much more. Its sister store across the street within the Lakewood Shopping Center is an equally impressive shop filled with clothing, housewares and accessories.

Bathroom is better here! No odors! A lot of variety here for everyone from kitchen stuff, bedding, bathroom decor, clothing, light fixtures, picture frames, wall art, shoes, chairs and much more.

Lots of books to choose from. The book selection was the better area since the music wasn’t blasting back there. The music was absurdly loud, and not very good music either.

Have been there twice and love the place. Enough room between the aisle and things are organized by color and type. Also, great selection of goods and they change up the stuff regularly! Will be back soon

I absolutely love this thrift store in Durham! It’s a hidden gem filled with unique finds, creative supplies, and all kinds of treasures you just can’t get anywhere else. The store is organized in a way that makes browsing fun, and every visit feels like an adventure. The prices are super reasonable, and the staff is always kind, welcoming, and helpful. Whether you’re into crafting, upcycling, or just love hunting for one-of-a-kind items, this is the place to go.

Huge thrift store with a variety of items. The books section alone is worth the visit, and they are organized by genre so it’s easy to browse through. They have a clean bathroom and weren’t too busy when I went. Definitely my favorite thrift store in Durham.

A good thrifting spot! I’m sure the selections change frequently, but I scored some great finds during my recent visit (mirror, plates, books, clothes). Pricing is pretty good on most inventory; some items are a bit overpriced for condition/value. The team are very nice and friendly. Bonus points for the shopping soundtrack (Ethiopian jazz, Hermanos Gutiérrez, and other chill music)! I will definitely return!
