Success Stories
At RCBC, we believe one person's waste is another's resource.
Residential Reuses
- One day after posting my sewing machine on Surrey Reuses an eager buyer contacted me. Now my sewing machine has a new lease on life!
- Within 2 hours of posting my working freezer on the Reuses site, someone contacted me and it was gone the next day.
- I posted several items on the Reuses site. The next day I had numerous responses. All my items were gone within 24 hours.
- The Reuses site created an opportunity for me to give someone items that I no longer needed. Thank you!
- The Reuses site helped me find a new home for my sofa that wasn't the landfill.
BC IMEX
- A company that provides laundry and linen services to hospitals and hotels in the greater vancouver area disposed of 200 pounds of non-reusable linens every month. The BC IMEX helped the company find a company who could use the linens to manufacture cloth wipes made from 100% post-consumer materials.
- A company out of North Vancouver receives their organic gardening products in burlap bags. The BC IMEX helped the company find a dish store in Vancouver that could use the burlap bags to wrap fragile tableware items in.
