REAcycle is a philanthropic group of real estate agents creating jobs for the underemployed, keeping gently used and recyclable items out of landfills, and supporting local efforts to end homelessness. Home sellers participating in the program with their realtors have the option to donate and recycle their items through REAcycle. Coordinators organize the items into three categories (reuse, recycle, dispose) and trained laborers handle the logical coordination and delivery to local non-profits who accept donated household items.
