We’re bringing together 10 partner organizations representing different parts of our region’s reuse sector, including building materials, repair, furniture, creative reuse, school and pet supplies, electronics recycling, resource recovery, and policy advocacy. We’re also excited to welcome Congresswoman Maxine Dexter and Oregon DEQ Director Leah Feldon to the event.

It’s shaping up to be a lively evening for the whole neighborhood, with food trucks, music, hands on arts and crafts, Portland’s first electric powered garbage truck, a Future Builder Tool Exploration Area for kids, community art making, our Salvage Showdown reuse furniture auction, Little Library raffles, and photos with RBC icon Ella Rose.
