🎉 Happy Waste Reduction Week! 🎉

You may know our first storefront downtown opened in 2007, but did you know our story actually started 15 years earlier?

In 1992, Master Composter Recycler volunteers organized the very first “Garbage Fair.” For one day only, residents could bring items they would normally throw away and leave them for others to reuse.

As the fair grew, the city stepped in to support this grassroots initiative and find more ways for residents to reuse year-round.

Fast-forward to the Reuse Centre today:

💚 We have more than 200 items on our accepted items list and recirculate them in our store free of charge.

💚 We host weekly DIY events with community volunteers to build sustainable skills like repairing and reusing.

💚 We host monthly item swaps that help keep gently used items in use and out of landfills.

💚 We educate local school kids and teens on sustainability through our free programming.

The Reuse Centre’s history shows how big change starts small.

A huge thank you to the North Glenora Community League and Only Here for the Food Blog for allowing us to use their photos for our post!

Are you still on the Halloween costume hunt? This Saturday, October 17, consider skipping the big box stores and come check out the Reuse Centre Halloween Costume Swap!

How it works:
🎃 Find up to five gently used costumes that you would like to swap. The costumes should be in clean, wearable condition, and all pieces included.

🎃 On October 17, bring your costumes to the Reuse Centre Program Room - NOT the donation drop-off area

🎃 Leave the costumes you’d like to donate with program staff

🎃 Shop the swap for up to five new-to-you items, and let the program staff know how many items you’re leaving with.
