We’re Moving in 2026!


 

That’s Right, Trash Pandas—

We’re moving! We don’t know where yet. We don’t know exactly when. But ReClaim It has officially begun the search for a new location in 2026.

Thanks to a generous Reuse Impact Fund grant from Metro, we’re embarking on a three year plan to expand our impact & strengthen our organization. This support will help us work toward several key goals, including:

  • Moving into a larger location (Year 1)

  • Expanding capacity for repair & material processing (Year 2)

  • Supporting staff with fair & sustainable compensation (Year 2)

  • Hiring executive leadership (Year 3)

Details on what we’re looking for in a new space are listed below. If you know of something that might fit our needs, reach out to Mackendree, our Board Vice President.

Thank you for following along & supporting us as we take this exciting & momentous step into 2026.
