Reuse means to use something again and again rather than only once. The goal of reuse is to keep using items as long as they have a function or value.
The Reuse Centre collects everyday items five days a week, year-round, and makes them available to groups and individuals who will reuse them.
Benefits of Reuse
- By reusing an item instead of throwing it out we save landfill space
- Reuse saves resources and energy from being used to make new products
- Reuse supports local charities and economy which keeps resources in our community
- Reused items are more affordable and often unique
