PRC’s ReUseFest In Pittsburgh A Success!

On June 28 the PA Resources Council held it's 3rd annual ReuseFest Collection Event in Mt. Lebanon, just outside the City of Pittsburgh.

The event, which is a one-day collection event for materials destined for reuse by local nonprofits, was a resounding success with 170 participants attending! Our nonprofit partners filled their vehicles full with a range of materials that will help address their mission.

Some of the highlights include:

— Off the Floor taking in over 2,000 pounds of furniture for their furniture bank;

— Construction Junction filling their 26 foot box truck with lumber, lighting, doors, windows, and ceramic tile;

— Global Links collecting over 45 pounds of medical supplies; and

— The Gay & Lesbian Community Center collecting - 52 bags and backpacks, 48 board games, and 52 DVDs for youth at the community center and 1 vintage voodoo doll!

PRC thanks all of the partner organizations, volunteers and participants who helped to make the event so successful. We are already looking forward to next year!
