Sustainable Bainbridge – ReUse Depot

The ReUse Depot is a nonprofit organization fiscally sponsored by Sustainable Bainbridge. It is a community-centered consortium of reuse-recycle-repair programs offering material exchanges, resource and recycling initiatives, a library of things, and repair-reuse workshops, all under one roof. The three main programs consist of:

• ReMaker Space: A program educating the public on the environmental impact of clothing and material choices through speakers, workshops, fashion shows, clothing swaps, and textile repairs. This space would also offer hands-on reuse and recreation for all ages to innovate creative solutions and conserve resources.

• Library of Things: A subscription-based membership lending library of shared goods such as tools, recreational equipment, toys, entertaining supplies, and other household goods.

• Materials Resource Kiosk: A community information kiosk to promote recycling and community reuse opportunities. A more centralized drop-off location for hard-to-recycle items (batteries, eyeglasses, pill bottles) to be sorted.
