To promote a healthy & sustainable environment through education, innovative conservation programs, and community involvement in conserving natural resources.
We help people understand the connection between the resources they use and the clean air, pure water and wild places they value.
Reuse of Building Materials:
The BRING Warehouse, located at 4446 Franklin Blvd. in Glenwood, sells used building materials, bicycles, lawnmowers, canning jars, windows, doors, sinks, plumbing fixtures and much more. We offer disposal of unwanted— yet still reusable—material from remodels, construction projects, garage clean outs, etc.
Education:
BRING Recycling provides workshops, activities and presentations to groups of all ages throughout the county. Each year, the education program reaches well over 15,000 individuals with the reduce, reuse, recycle message.
Deconstruction:
BRING is fully licensed and bonded to assist with the removal of unwanted structures. From carports to commercial buildings, deconstruction retains highest reusable value, reduces pollution, and conserves energy and natural resources for our community.
Recycling, Collection and Processing:
BRING is contracted to process materials collected at the Lane County Central Receiving Station. We coordinate special recycling and waste reduction events such as compost bin sales. Our staff work to develop new recycling programs for new materials.
Information:
BRING maintains a video and print library of recycling information and trade journals. We are happy to answer questions and assist with research.
The print edition of Used News is printed on 40% post consumer paper, low/no VOC soy inks.
