Edmonton Reuse Center

Did you know that there is a place called Reuse Center in Edmonton.

I’ve discovered this place maybe 5 years ago and i really love coming back here. Being a person who loves recycling and crafting i found a gold mine in this place.

And they charge only $5 for up to 25 kg. of things that you find in this place. Every time we visit this place we always come home with few boxes and only spent $5. My kids super love this place. Its an amazing place, I always come here for most of the stuff that i used in my crafting.

Your buying and at the same time helping the environment by reusing things and by reducing waste on our landfill. Its a total win.

They accepts various items from Edmonton residents free of charge and makes them available to organizations and individuals for reuse. The Reuse Centre is unique as it deals with items that are not accepted for reuse elsewhere.

Edmonton Reuse Centre has three main goals:

  • To promote the idea and benefits of reuse
  • To provide affordable items to organizations and individuals
  • To divert waste from landfill

So if you’re like me you should drop by and see this place. You can donate items listed below or you can come to purchase somethings that you can’t find at stores.
