Reusing : Pass It On!
Allen County Reuse Centers
Not everything can be recycled...but many things can be reused!
The Allen County Solid Waste Management District encourages all residents to donate usable items they no longer need to benefit others. Office equipment, books, school supplies, musical instruments, clothing, and toys are just a few items that have the potential to be reused.
Below is an alphabetical listing of organizations and the items that they accept for reuse. Items must be in good, working condition. Be sure to contact the organization for more details prior to making a donation.
