Our Mission

• Fostering conservation and reuse through creativity, education and community building

What We Do

• Operate a retail center that collects, distributes and sells reusable materials donated from industry and individuals


• Organize a resource hub to share information and build networks


• Awareness building: We highlight individuals and organizations doing interesting work in sustainability and art through gallery exhibits, events and competitions


• Creative empowerment: We develop instructional kits like "How to turn your TV into a lightshow with toilet paper rolls", a library of design and art ideas, website and newsletters focused on making reuse projects accessible


• Community strengthening: We promote awareness of other organizations doing likeminded work to reduce overlap and increase awareness of city resources


• Offer dynamic events and activities that creatively engage the community while building awareness around conscious consumption, sustainability and art

Why We Do It

• More efficient than recycling because it requires no industrial processing, reuse gives us a tangible and inventive way to engage in a sustainable lifestyle.


• For the past thirty years, more than 25 creative reuse centers have been thriving in the US. Many of these organizations report diverting 60,000 lbs from landfill each year while also being economically viable organizations.


• Through tinkering and creative exploration, reuse inspires the engineers, designers, architects, and artists of tomorrow.


• Reuse centers create affordable and accessible opportunities.
