The RE Store is a reclaimed and used building materials retail store in Bellingham, WA. We are a program of RE Sources for Sustainable Communities, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. RE Sources promotes sustainable communities and protects the health of northwestern Washington’s people and ecosystems through the application of science, education, advocacy and action. The primary goal of The RE Store is to divert as much reusable material as possible from the landfill and to build a culture of reuse in our community.
In the 1990s, a group of dedicated community members got together to brainstorm ways to keep valuable reclaimed building materials from ending up in the landfill. From their ideas, The RE Store was born. Each year we:
- Save the community over $1 million in building materials costs,
- Divert nearly 3 million pounds of quality building supplies from the landfill, and
- Provide more than 1,500 hours of accessible on-the-job training opportunities.
Every dollar raised through our store’s retail sales and services goes back into our work to conserve valuable natural resources, provide job training to displaced workers, and advocate for a strong, resilient local economy. But, our store is just one part of who we are and what we do. In the warehouse, you can find the Revision Division woodshop, a design lab for the design and construction of hand-made furnishings from reclaimed materials. Upstairs from The RE Store you can find the workspaces for our Salvage Crew and Community Jobs Training staff, offices for RE Sources program staff, and the Sustainable Living Center; a meeting space and conference room open for public rental.
