Material Donations
At ReClaim It, we source the vast majority of our inventory from the Metro Central Transfer Station (the “dump”) in an effort to keep reusable items from continuing on to the landfill.
However, we are happy to accept pre-approved donations on a limited basis from those of you who wish to specifically help support our efforts to reduce waste.
ALL DONATIONS MUST BE PRE-APPROVED.
Please send pictures & measurements to materials@reclaimitpdx.org
We will respond to your inquiry with more information
about if we can accept your donation & when/where you can drop it off!
While most donations need to be pre-approved, the following items on the list can be dropped off anytime—if you can carry it in.
