Reuse Center
rePurpose collects reusable materials from their members and offers these materials to the community by donation.
Community members can come to the Reuse Center in the Coffman Building at the Whidbey Island Fairgrounds at 819 Camano Ave. in Langley, WA on Whidbey Island to gather reusable materials from 12 noon to 4 p.m. on most Wednesdays and at our other drop off events listed here on the event page of the rePurpose website. We also host classes on how to utilize the reusable materials in creative ways. We hope you’ll join us!
It’s a treasure trove for artists, families, educators and locals. We have everything from gift wrapping and packaging to art supplies and creative reuse materials. We see the rePurpose Reuse and Recycling Center as supporting a culture shift to reuse first before buying new.
Reusable materials are items that are clean and reusable and can be used for art projects, education, gift giving, packaging, etc.
Things like corks, tubes, fabric samples, gift cards, interesting plastics, and more can be reused instead of trashed in the landfill. This keeps useful, local materials out of the landfill every month. This is important because our Island County waste creates hazardous air pollution by transporting tons of material 400-miles away to the Roosevelt landfill at the southern border of Washington. So when we refuse, reduce and reuse, we are taking important steps that impact our environment.
