Inspiring innovation through hands-on learning and material reuse.

At ReUseResources, we work with many partners to create new networks and tools that support academic achievement through innovative reuse and upcycling. We harvest usable materials in ways that inspire learning, save money, and promote awareness about the cost-effective, environmentally-friendly way to provide inventive educational materials to teachers (preK-12), schools and community programs.

At ReUseResources, teachers and community programs get low-cost supplies and businesses find a home for surplus materials otherwise headed for the landfill. We collect and offer surplus materials that are in good condition to match the needs in the classroom. This allows teachers to do much more with their limited classroom budgets.

Every day the train that leaves Seattle/King County for the landfill is about a mile long and much of what is thrown out is perfectly usable. Our mission is to reuse the good stuff to support education and reduce the waste of our resources.
