Reuse Household Tools for Good
The ReCollective Finds Reuse for Household Tools
Household tools are collected and redistributed to support local community organizations. By giving tools a second life, this effort helps reduce waste and empowers organizations to serve the community more effectively.
Tools should be placed in the ReCo Pick Bag during designated months.

How does The ReCollective reuse tools?
Your tools are returned to our Durham, NC warehouse, where they are carefully sorted by category and distributed to our community partners for reuse.
At The ReCollective, we recycle tools across the Triangle, NC, including Durham, Raleigh, Cary, and Chapel Hill, as well as through our Almost Anything Bag Mailback program. We’re dedicated to giving your tools a second life.
Tools are collected through the ReCo Pick in addition to our other core hard-to-recycle materials that are collected each pickup.
