Sustainable Development

ReUse Works promotes a sustainable local economy by tapping the waste stream to generate new economic activity. By extending the life of existing products, we save energy and reduce the need to consume virgin raw materials. We also keep local dollars circulating in the community.

Job Creation

ReUse Works creates new jobs in the local economy by hiring worker trainees into its own operations and by building the capacity of its business partners in the reuse sector.

Environmental Protection

ReUse Works diverts unwanted materials from the waste stream and encourages reuse over consumption of products made with virgin materials. We reclaim items donated by residents who can receive a federal tax deduction for their donation.

Low Income Empowerment

ReUse Works provides low-income residents with an opportunity to plan, participate in, and direct a community owned enterprise as worker trainees, employees, and members of the board of directors.
