Ready to reuse

Happy fall everyone! We hope this post finds you all well and looking forward to a new season. The good news is that our supply shelves are overflowing with ready to reuse supplies for arts and education. Please contact us with your wish lists, including:

• Bottle Caps
• Cereal Boxes
• Wine Corks
• Coffee Tins
• Styrofoam Trays
• Fabric
• Paper Towel and Toilet Paper Tubes
• Folders, Binders, and School Supplies
• Lots of other unique odds and ends!

Update For Our Collectors: Thank you to everyone who has collected and provided these items for local reuse. For the time being, our supplies are at capacity and our collections are temporarily on hold. The good news is that many of the arts and education programs we supply are reopening this fall, and we hope to be moving inventory more rapidly in the coming months. Our current plan is to reopen collections in the spring of 2021, but watch for announcements here as programs are ever-changing.

In the meantime, thank you for supporting JH Reuse through Old Bill’s Fun Run. Your donations keep resources and creativity from going to waste!

End of Season Means Strong Beginning for JH Reuse

The phone is ringing off the hook at JH Reuse this week with local reusers eager to bring us their stuff! This is, of course, a sign of progress for our new program, but its significance seems to extend further than just us this week.

These end of summer calls are coming from people who are packing up for the season…River guide roommates, in a hurry to leave town, who still found the time to set aside materials they heard we could use. Middle school teachers, overloaded with back-to-school duties, who found the time and energy to arrange a reusable school supply offering for 6th graders at today’s open house. And a long time Jackson resident, bittersweet over the sale of her home, who found some solace in passing along her items to be reused in a community she holds dear.

These reuse participants are making more than just a phone call. They are making reuse a priority, even during busy times, when throwing things into the trash would be an easy shortcut. We thank you all for your efforts and your stewardship, and we hope to hear from anyone else with end of season haves or needs. Reminder: We will pick up from your home or office! Sometimes we even get in a dog walk at the same time (see photo of “Austin” the Zero Waste Dachshund).

Last People’s Market Booth and School Supply Request

Join us at the People’s Market this week for the last JH Reuse booth of the summer! Tomorrow, 4-7pm at the base of Snow King.

This week’s booth will have games, gift boxes, and re-mixed crayons as well as more space for the HAVE’s and NEED’s. Bring your reusables to give away and pick up some of this week’s featured items: glass jars, envelopes, wine corks, and egg cartons!

NEW THIS WEEK – JH Reuse is Collecting School Supplies!…We are excited to be assisting local schools in restocking their supply cabinets. Requests include 3-ring-binders, spiral notebooks, composition books, pens, pencils, markers, paper, index cards, glue sticks, post-it-notes, etc. Check the backs of your closets, bottoms of your drawers, and that box from last year under your bed and bring us your extra stuff! We are happy to accept these items at the People’s Market or contact us for a pick up. Any quantity! Any time this month!

Thank You ISWR Advisory Board

JH Reuse would like to thank the Teton County Integrated Solid Waste and Recycling Advisory Board for allowing us to introduce ourselves at the August board meeting! We consider ourselves a hatchling of the Road to Zero Waste umbrella and are excited to work together to expand the opportunities to minimize waste in the Teton County community.
