Teacher Reuse Exchange

Investing their own money to support students has long been a time-honored tradition for teachers. On average, educators spend more than $820 of their personal funds each year on classroom supplies to ensure students have the tools they need to learn. While this generosity reflects their deep commitment to students, it also places a financial burden on many educators. 
The Teacher Reuse Exchange (TRE) exists to ease this burden while advancing environmental sustainability. Our mission is to provide an outlet for the donation, repurposing, and reuse of new and gently used teacher, school, community, and business discards. By diverting abundant resources from landfills and redistributing them to educators, we help ensure these materials find meaningful new life in classrooms and nonprofit programs that serve children.
