What will you do?
Habitat ReStores are independently owned reuse stores operated by local Habitat organizations that accept donations and sell home improvement items to the public at a fraction of the retail price. Proceeds are used to help build strength, stability, self-reliance and shelter in local communities and around the world.
Oregon's new Recycling Modernization Act of 2025 presents a unique opportunity to increase our Habitat ReStore recycling program. The VISTA will research, develop, and implement strategies for modernizing our material recycling system at all three Habitat ReStores in the Portland Region. They will create or update procedures for handling a wide variety of currently accepted and newly anticipated recyclable materials and set up an initial recycling test site at one Habitat ReStore to test processes and procedures. From streamlining collection processes to implementing efficient recycling protocols, the VISTA member is a crucial part of our strategy to address an upcoming surge in recyclable materials.
