School Starts in Two Weeks

The ReUse Center had folding yardsticks, binders, labels, printed card stock and other items for school. Art students and teachers are welcome to come out and see what's on hand for school projects too.  You never know what you will find. 

As summer winds down there is still time to get in a few more rows of your cold weather crops planted.  Leafy greens like kale, lettuce and spinach have no problem with the cool weather.  This summer's heat has adversely effected many farms in the mid-west which will undoubtedly cause a rise in food costs.  Planting your own garden will not only offset grocery costs, but give you healthier and more sustainable options. And remember, we still have compost bins available.  It's never too late to start composting and divert another 30% of your household garbage. We're open Tuesday through Saturday from 9am to 5pm.  (845) 255-8456

One trailer of reuse material emptied and four more to go.  Reality is setting in as final touches go on the permanent building and more people are asking when they can start shopping. The ReUse Center is an opportunity to help divert materials from the waste stream and help New Paltz achieve its Zero Waste goal.

If you would like to volunteer or donate residual new materials, please call us.  Tuesday through Saturday from 9am to 5pm.  (845) 255-8456

Next week the materials in the trailers will be moved into the new steel building that is housing all of the rescued materials.  We are looking for volunteers to help set up the new ReUse Center. (845) 255-8456

If you are interested in textured paint rollers or navy blue 1 1/2" IBM binders, they are free for the taking.  We need to make room for all of the new materials that are coming in every day. There will be programming available in the Fall too.

Watch for information on our "Moving Sale" and grand opening.  Coming soon!

As the trailers are unloaded to move material into the new building, we are finding lots of great stuff!!  There are rolls of green canvas strapping at $2 each and lots of rings.  There are more wooden bead punch outs and molded plastic table tops.

New Paltz has been busy promoting zero waste at the County Fair this week.  We have a table set up with information on composting, recycling, safer alternatives for household cleaning and the new ReUse Center.  There is also a table so people can create new items out of old ones.  Today is the last day to visit us in the Main Tent!
