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)

  • Hiring executive leadership (Year 3)

  • Supporting staff with fair & sustainable compensation (Year 1-3)

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.

We’ve launched a Community Survey to better understand who you are, how you engage with us & what would make our future location more accessible, welcoming & useful. Your input will help inform where we move & how we grow.

Fill Out the Survey Here!

This survey should take less than five minutes & all questions are anonymous & optional.

What customers are saying:

“Focus on a space with adequate parking!”

“Finding a place where there could be clear aisles and no steps would be great.”

“It would be great to have more sales space for artists.”

“I hope you guys can stay in the neighborhood, but I’ll truck it to wherever you land no matter what!”

“Plan a space to hold classes on re-making recycled products from things salvaged.”

“Please bring the raccoon shrine to the new space.”

“…some really good public transport I hope!”

“Hope there will be a gallery space or display windows to show creations made with ReClaim materials.”

“Keep up the social media posts showing hauls come in.”
