The Reuse People of America, based in Oakland, CA, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing the solid waste stream and transforming the way the built environment is renewed. Since 1993, they have deconstructed over 4,000 houses and diverted more than 400,000 tons of reusable materials from landfills, providing training to over 500 workers and contractors in the process.

TRP offers green services such as building materials donation and deconstruction options, project management, consulting, and training programs. They promote environmentally friendly deconstruction practices over demolition, selling quality reclaimed building materials at affordable prices while helping to create construction jobs and preserve valuable resources.
