What is ReUse?
The center of the phrase “Reduce, ReUse, Recycle”, ReUse is different than recycling in that items that would otherwise be discarded continue to be used as-is or close to as-is, instead of being broken down and made into new items.
It has a triple-edged positive impact on the environment.
When you re-use an item, you’re saving energy and resources by:
— NOT sending the item to a landfill
— NOT using energy to recycle it’s materials
— NOT consuming energy and resources to make an entirely new product from scratch
Where is the Re-Use Center?
Right now? Nowhere and everywhere.
We are looking for a good, central location in the Hilltowns, preferably a currently unused or underused building and a crew of people willing to donate time, share in the organizational process and the responsibilities of management. Any suggestions for a location are welcome. And if you want to be involved let us know. You can also sign up for the recently formed Yahoo Group to join in the group discussion as this venture grows and develops.
Items listed on this site’s Currently In Stock page right now are housed at individuals’ private homes. Use the contact information for a particular location to see them items currently available.
