Beyond the Bin: Second Fridays

Free Community Reuse Events

Looking to clear out clutter without filling up the landfill? Bring your usable items to a weekly Beyond the Bin Community Reuse Event at the Tacoma Recovery & Transfer Center and donate them to local nonprofit partners who will reuse, repurpose, and redistribute them back into the community. It’s a simple way to reduce waste, support neighbors, and keep valuable materials in use.

Second Fridays with Habitat for Humanity: Tacoma/Pierce County

The second Friday of each month, April – September, we’re partnering with Habitat for Humanity: Tacoma/Pierce County. View a full list of Habitat’s accepted items.

Items are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Events will end once collection trucks are full. We reserve the right to decline items for any reason, including condition, size, demand, market value, or seasonality. Oversized, hazardous, damaged, or non-accepted items will not be accepted. Participants are responsible for safe disposal of declined items. 

Please note: the items we accept are subject to change, depending on which organization we’re partnering with for each event. Please review our event calendar and our partner’s accepted items list before attending Beyond the Bin events.
