ReClaim It

OCT Qualified

Mission

We are a nonprofit devoted to reducing waste & promoting creative reuse in our community. Creative reuse – reclaiming & reimagining – is at the heart of all we do.

Bottom Line for Portland

By making a gift to ReClaim It, you are supporting an ever-evolving movement where Portland's creative minds come together to breathe new life into what has been discarded. As the sole force reclaiming items from the Metro Central Transfer Station – a.k.a., the dump – we've saved over 1,000,000 pounds of reusable materials since 2014, & we collaborate with our partners to promote reuse & repair, reflecting the essence of Give!Guide's call for a more connected & compassionate community. Through our retail store, art & reuse events & recycling education, we're shaping a future where waste becomes opportunity – & where every act of reimagining sparks a more vibrant Portland metro area.

Quote

“How fortunate I am to have found a community of people who value waste reduction & are creative as well!  When I was new to Portland, I was searching for just such a tribe & I found it. The energy around our mission is so invigorating. Everyone from leadership to staff to volunteers hold a commitment to a piece of our vision that speaks to them. Not only do I get to have immediate gratification saving an object from the landfill to live at least one more life, I also have learned so much about how we can work to make the world a better place, or at least the landfill one ton smaller every week. I’m grateful to all that ReClaim It does for the environment & for me. Thanks for taking me in & helping me grow.”
– Rachel Steffen, Board Member
