Celebrating 15 years of
Finger Lakes ReUse on October 26th
We're turning 15 this Wednesday, October 26th!

Starting with only a handful of employees and a pooled investment of $700, Finger Lakes ReUse was incorporated as a nonprofit organization in New York State on October 26, 2007. Since then, ReUse has grown in scope and size to provide community benefit programs, each designed to address key local issues. Today the organization employs over 90 people and operates multiple community-benefit programs, including: 

  • two ReUse Centers (214 Elmira Rd and 2255 N. Triphammer Rd); 

  • the ReSET job training program, providing engaging, hands-on work experience in high-demand occupational fields; 

  • the eCenter computer refurbishment program; 

  • Deconstruction and Salvages Services, an alternative to traditional demolition practices; 

  • the Ithaca Fixers Collective, a volunteer-run group dedicated to repairing reusable items; and 

  • the ReUse Materials Access Program, a pilot program providing store credits to local people and nonprofits in need of supplies. 

Since 2018, Finger Lakes ReUse has diverted an estimated 9 million pounds of materials from being landfilled, or 225 pounds per Tompkins County household.
