THRIFT THAT CREATES SOCIAL GOOD

Re-Use-It Centre

When you donate to or shop at our stores YOU are directly funding community programs, like our Food Bank, our Outreach services for mental and physical health, subsidized counselling access, financial assistance programs for kids to go to art classes, attend camp, play sports and MORE!

In any resort town, people come and go. When you’re new in town, we help you find the gear you need, furnish your apartment, or find a sweet outfit for après! When it’s time to leave Whistler, donate items you’re not taking home with you back to the Re-Use-It Centre to fund more social services!

At the Re-Use-It Centre every visit is a treasure hunt, you never know what you’ll find, drop-in and have a look, we’re open seven days a week!

For the safety of our staff, our community, and our wildlife, we ask that you please not leave donations outside when we are closed and unable to receive them. Your donations make a huge difference in our community, by building Whistler’s circular economy and keeping waste out of our landfill!

WHAT WE ACCEPT

WHAT WE do not ACCEPT

A Note About Book Donations:

The Re-Use-It Centre is happy to accept books when we have space for them.
 
Books are one of our highest volume donations. When our book section is full we have nowhere else to store them, for this reason we may ask you to bring them back at a later date, or find alternatives to Re-Use-It. We sell our books at a low price and still cannot move through them quickly.
 
Books cannot be recycled in BC:
 
While magazines, catalogues and phone books are covered under the BC recycling regulation and are collected with other printed paper under MMBC’s stewardship program, hardcover and paperback books, such as novels, text books and reference materials, are not accepted.
 
This leaves the Re-Use-It Centre in a tough position, we have no other way to dispose of excess books than to put them in the garbage which is something we really don’t like to do!
 
Please speak with staff or call ahead to see if we are currently accepting books or to ask about alternatives to RUI.
