Big Reuse has opened a second Reuse Center and thrift store in Bushwick at 378 Troutman Street, where the environmental nonprofit says it will accept donations from the community, divert materials from landfills and give neighbors a sustainable way to shop. The organization marked the launch with an opening party on Saturday, Feb. 28, from 6 to 8 p.m.
Andie Millares, the group’s development and communications coordinator, said the new store follows the same model as Big Reuse’s Gowanus location, which she said placed a record number of items into new homes and out of the landfill this year. The Bushwick store is open daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. for both shopping and donation, according to the organization.
