Reuse Fest

What Is ReuseFest?

ReuseFest is a one-day drop off event open to the general public that diverts materials from local landfills to reuse by local nonprofits.

Pennsylvania Resources Council’s “ReuseFest” – a one-of-a-kind drop-off event for gently used materials destined for reuse by numerous local nonprofit organizations – accepts a wide variety of items including bedding/bath, clothing, furniture, kitchen items, pet supplies and more.

Should I Donate This Item?

While the purpose of ReuseFest is to provide a second life to a wide variety of materials, it’s okay to place stained, broken, cracked or otherwise damaged items in a trash can rather than donating to charity. Before packing an item to bring to ReuseFest, look at the condition and ask yourself, “Would I buy this item in its current condition?” This criteria should help you to determine which materials to donate.
