Finger Lakes ReUse Center Now Open

Finger Lakes ReUse saves materials from going to the landfill and provides quality goods at affordable prices. The ReUse Center, located in the Triphammer Mall, is operated by Finger Lakes ReUse, Inc., an independent nonprofit organization with the mission to enhance community and environment through reuse. The public is welcome to stop by, shop, and buy materials sold at 50%-90% off market equivalents.  Tons of building materials, computers, electronics, house wares, furniture, and other goods are thrown away every day even though their usable life is far from over.  A sampling of items currently available at the ReUse Center includes dining sets, chairs, bookshelves, French doors, cast iron brackets, ornate radiators, lighting, dimensional lumber, and more. The ReUse Center not only offers a convenient retail outlet, but also will serve as a community-gathering place and education center where people can exchange ideas and learn skills in transforming materials for new uses.  The ReUse Center will be open Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m.
