Youth Fair Chance Inc

ReUse Centers- Cincinnati, OH, Lexington, KY The ReUse Centers follow the model of Asset Recycling in Indianapolis, IN, but with an added component. They also de-construct old buildings, warehouses, and homes to aid in the reclamation of land and the rescue of usable materials, thus, lessening the burden on landfills. The Centers take the materails and prepare them for reuse. Items removed from old structures include plumbing fixtures, copper pipe, water heaters, windows, doors, cabinets, etc. Its team and the equipment and manpower arrive to recover all reusable materials before demolition. All agencies participate in national recycling network projects (product sharing). Deconstruction is only part of the ReUse Centers mission. The numbers reflect the entire mission.

Educating communities about recycling - Youth Fair Chance educates youth and the community in general about recycling through its website, through community newsletters, through its new email marketing campaign, and through its constituency list for contacts including clients, donors, and other community agencies.
