BRING Recycling's "Used News"
BRING is well-known for stocking a staggering variety of interesting used building materials, including lots of stuff you’ll see no where else. You can also find lots of low-cost but brand-new materials—things like furnace filters, exterior and interior doors, water purifiers, phone cables, door hardware, nuts, bolts, nails and screws, paint, molding, shower stalls, and compost bins.
So how does new stuff get to BRING?We buy a few select items, including Metro recycled paint and Earth Machine home compost bins, because they nicely complement our mission to conserve resources. Metro Paint is a high-quality product remanufactured from latex paint the public brings to Hazardous Waste facilities in Lane County and Portland. At $13.25 a gallon ($48 for a 5-gallon bucket), Metro Paint is great paint at a rock-bottom price.
Earth Machine compost bins, made from recycled plastic, are a great value at just $50, and come with a helpful book for beginning composters.
Most “new” items we collect are from area businesses. Some are surplus inventory, remnants or returned merchandise, some come from business liquidations and some are “seconds”—items that have been dinged during shipping or on a sales floor but are still very usable.
Donating these materials to BRING is a triple win. The donor can deduct
the value of the donation (to the extent the law allows) and avoid
disposal fees. We are able to offer you great materials that might have
ended up in a landfill, fulfilling our mission to conserve resources
and earning us the revenue that supports our work. The public gets
great bargains on quality materials. Where else can you buy a
countertop water purifier for $10?Come on down and check out our huge selection of new doors and hundreds of different types of nails, bolts, screws and other hardware, many in the original boxes. You’re bound to be surprised by what you find!
