As part of the new Greening the Screen initiative put out by MAF, they reccomend that production houses (among other things)
Store, sell or donate unwanted set materials to local theatres, high schools and acting schools before opting for disposal.
Collate a list of charities who would be willing to pick up unwanted set materials and props at short notice, make this list readily available and keep it updated.

I wonder how we can get LARPS on the list for the stuff that they have produced! For example in King Kong they must have produced hundreds of fedora’s … where are they now?
An extreme example, but Kong’s budget is $309,000,000 USD. I do wonder what will happen to all the kit. Any Wellington members know?
