Reusing/Regifting is one of UCRRA’s 7R’s to Rethinking Waste! Donating unwanted items extends the useful life of our goods and materials, which can help divert solid waste sent to landfills. Donating unwanted items (that are still in good condition) not only fosters a community culture of waste reduction, but it also can make a difference by helping our neighbors in need and supporting local nonprofit organizations with charitable missions. Choosing to seek out and buy gently used and second-hand items is also a great way to practice waste-sustainability in your every day life!
Use this list to find a reuse organization near you! This list was updated January 2023. To add/remove items to this list, or request a correction, please contact Tanesia White, Recycling Educator at TWHI@UCRRA.ORG.
Please note: All donations are subject to approval by the various charitable organizations or programs listed on this page. Please contact these organizations with all inquiries or to verify the acceptance of any item in this list.
