Last year, we were able to reuse and repurpose over 50,000 devices, diverting them from landfills and finding new uses for them. One of the key ways we were able to reuse and repurpose so many devices was through our electronic recycling program. This program allows individuals and organizations to donate their old electronic devices to Reuseum, where they are processed and prepared for reuse or recycling. Our team […]

Recycling Old Stuff, One Cable at a Time
Participating in workshops through the Reuseum Educational, many people know the classes and events Reuseum puts up in order to support STEM education throughout the community, but little do people know the mountains of printers, TVs, computers, and more Reuseum gets every year.

Make new things with older Technology!

Taking these old or broken devices apart unveils a treasure trove of electrical magic just waiting to be used. Create intercoms throughout the house or automated window blinds to keep the heat from the sun out. There are many possibilities for both innovation and automation when it comes to using older devices that no longer have a use. Speakers aren’t the only items in old phones that can be useful.
