A VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL OF OUR SPONSORS:
Refused Reused® challenges groups of community volunteers to use their d.i.y. skills while creatively recycling items that would have otherwise been thrown away. We repair and reupholster items such as broken furniture, tables, chairs and sofas. These items are then used in a makeover of a local homeless shelter, animal 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 while upcycling at it's finest.
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.
Our friends at Blarney Stone General Contracting selected Cholla High School as their winner for a kitchen makeover. For more information check out their site at: http://www.blarneystonebuilt.com

The 800 pounds of leather arrived and now we're getting to work!
Since we started our little project last year, it has grown significantly. We are no longer able to store our items at Grandma's house.
We're looking to sublease a CHEAP storage facility or warehouse.
We receive items from people all over the country and have simply run out of room and need more space. If you or someone you know is interested please contact us at info@refusedreused.com
We could really use a pick-up Truck.
We've been picking up items with a Chevy Camaro and a Chevy Trailblazer.
Have you ever tried to fit a couch in the back of a Camaro? It doesn't work so well...
If you or someone you know are looking to get rid of a truck, please let us know!
