ReuseNYC's membership serves as a conduit for the non-profit NYC reuse community by providing support to the organizations which deal with reusable materials, helping to facilitate exchanges between them, while promoting and generating awareness of their activities to the general public. Membership with ReuseNYC provides a wide-range of FREE programs, services and support to its members. These benefits and services are designed to provide members with valuable education, networking and collaboration opportunities, as well as promotional support intended to develop sector/community relations.

The non-profit NYC Reuse Sector is a vibrant, growing group of organizations, businesses and individuals dedicated to expanding and promoting the practice of materials reuse. Given their low cost and large abundance, reusable materials provide a great benefit to our local economic, social and environmental sustainability. Reusable materials, in effect, constitute one of the City’s most valuable resources and solid waste management opportunities.
