Furnish Office and Home | 850 NE 15th Ave, Minneapolis, MN
See how large volumes of used office furniture are diverted from landfills utilizing a unique reuse and recycle model while at the same time supporting a broader mission to help individuals in the community find jobs, develop careers and strengthen the communities in which they live.

Loose Parts Laboratory Materials Center | Housed at the Lenox Community Center, 6715 Minnetonka Blvd, St Louis Park, MN 55426
Come see our creative reuse space in action. Participate in an opportunity to explore the material and try your hand at creating ephemeral art. See what kinds of open-ended materials are available and learn ways you can support the organization.

Macalester Sustainability | 1657 Lincoln Ave, St. Paul, MN
During this tour you will have the opportunity to visit two reuse spaces at Macalester College. The first is The Free Swap and the second is the Free Swap Outlet also known as 1550 Summit. Learn how these spaces have transformed over the past 3 years and how our office has been able to increase our connections throughout the campus community and beyond through them.

MN Tech for Success | 504 Malcolm Ave SE, Suite 100, Minneapolis, MN
MTFS believes that digital inclusion and environmental sustainability go hand in hand. We recycle and repair donated computers to refurbish them for schools and educationally focused community organizations to impact the full life cycle of technology. Our programs provide technology access, engaging STEM programming, and IT workforce training in underserved communities. Attendees will visit our warehouse where we refurbish computer technology.

Parking is located right in front of our building. Wear comfortable shoes as the reception will be inside our warehouse which has a cement floor.

Recovery Bike Shop | 2504 Central Ave NE, Minneapolis, MN
Organized chaos. See behind the curtain at one of the Twin Cities' premier used bicycle shops where we manufacture, service, and sell a thousand bicycles a year. Check out the refurbishment process of a “re-cycled” bike, get tips about basic bike maintenance, and learn how bicycles activate public spaces and increase community engagement while reducing our reliance on cars. Come check out our green roof too!

Free parking available in the St. Clement’s parking lot across the street from the shop and in the neighborhood (on Jackson behind the shop etc.) or better yet ride your bike (convenient bike racks in front of the shop). Please note that Lowry is closed from Washington to Central. Closed toe shoes recommended if you want to visit the green roof. 

Reuse Minnesota was founded in 2012 and is a member-based nonprofit that supports repair, resale, and rental businesses, bringing visibility to the reuse sector as a means to lower our state's impact on the environment.
