PA Resources Council, Partners Hold Reuse Fest As Part Of FutureFest April 20 In Allegheny County

The PA Resources Council and its partners will hold the Reuse Fest on April 20 at Buhl Park in Pittsburgh from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Reuse Fest will be held in partnership with Communitopia as part of FutureFest 2019.

Reuse Fest

ReuseFest is a one-day drop off event open to the general public that diverts materials from local landfills to reuse by Pittsburgh nonprofits.

PRC collaborates with a number of local nonprofits to provide the public with the opportunity to easily donate items that otherwise may have ended up in the trash.

ReuseFest helped to connect these usable materials with great local non-profit organizations who found ways to give this material a second life, while benefiting those in need.

Individuals can drop off items for reuse including medical equipment, usable building materials, clothing, furniture, pet supplies, bikes and more.

PRC’s 8th annual ReuseFest supports local nonprofits including Brother’s Brother, Construction Junction, Dress for Success, Free Ride, Free Store Wilkinsburg, Global Links, Goodwill, Grow Pittsburgh, Humane Animal Rescue, Off the Floor, Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse, Propel Northside Community Wellness Center and The Education Partnership.
