ABOUT REFUSED REUSED
®
Refused Reused® challenges groups made up of dozens of community volunteers to use their d.i.y. skills to creatively recycle items that would otherwise be thrown away. These items are then used in a makeover of a local shelter, community center, or school.
Our professional designers pass along their knowledge and skills by working alongside the volunteers while reducing, reusing and re-purposing. It is “green” in the truest sense of the word and "curb shopping" at it's finest.
Refused Reused® gives the discarded a second chance at life!
We have changed the lives of 13 families and 29 children with our first project alone.
You think that's good?! We've reduced waste in our landfills by recycling the items people have thrown away. When we join forces and come together as a community, lives can significantly be changed.
This is our chance to bring a solution to a very big problem.
