Program areas at Repurpose Project

Re-Use Stores from Donations and Salvage: The collection of traditional and non-traditional donations along with salvage items helps to keep materials circulating in our local communities instead of filling up landfills. We are operating a Creative Re-use Center and Architectural Salvage store which is focused on non-traditional and salvage items; a Re-use Planet store which is focused on used furniture, appliances, cabinets, and more; and a Renovator Re-use store that is focused on building materials consisting of tools, hardware, lumber, doors, windows, plumbing and more.
Repurpose Project Community Center: The Community Center is an event space centered around quality experiences, community interactions, art, music, and creativity. We promote togetherness by offering adult and kid workshops, fix-it days, performance art, trash-to-fashion shows, community yard sales and much more.
Re-Use Study: We are conducting two different studies that will assess the quantity and value of reusable material being thrown away. The data collected will be used to design and recommend strategies, systems, and infrastructure improvements needed to build a robust re-use economy that will help our planet and protect our future.
