Re-use Hawaii

Re-use Hawaii We are a nonprofit (Re)cultivating the circular economy in Hawai'i by keeping material waste out of the landfill and turning it into community treasure.

Homeowners can receive a tax-deductible donation for salvaged materials. Contractors and architects can offer clients an environmentally sustainable option for demolition and remodel projects and can save money on disposal costs by salvaging material instead of dumping it.

Kinda chic to call it Hotel Restoration Reuse. 💅♻️
A little behind-the-scenes from our recent pickup at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.
As hotels refresh and restore their spaces, perfectly usable furniture and materials can easily become part of the waste stream. We’re grateful to the Royal Hawaiian Hotel and everyone involved for choosing to think differently and giving these pieces the opportunity for another life in our community.
And these projects can add up in a BIG way.
✨ For a little perspective: During one hotel liquidation project at the Ala Moana Hotel in 2025, Re-use Hawaiʻi recovered 100+ tons of reusable material from 1,166 rooms instead of sending it to the landfill. More than 7,800 furniture items were sold, over 400 pieces were donated, and an estimated $243,000 in community savings was created.
That’s the power of choosing redistribution over disposal.
One hotel’s refresh can become someone else’s dining chair, lanai set, statement piece, restaurant furniture, DIY project…or the random piece you didn’t know you needed until you saw it. 👀
Mahalo to the Royal Hawaiian Hotel and our partners for helping keep usable materials in circulation and giving our community the chance to write the next chapter for these pieces.
Kinda chic to keep good materials out of the landfill. ♻️✨

MADE BY YOU 🛠️♻️
Now THIS is a transformation. 👏
Bella L took an outdated bathroom and completely reimagined the space using materials from Re-use Hawaiʻi — turning the old tub area into a beautiful walk-in shower and bringing the whole room together with new flooring, tile, and thoughtful details.
What we love even more is the intention behind it. Multiple trips to Re-use Hawaiʻi, a little creativity, lots of planning, and figuring out how to make each piece work.
“Remodeling our bathroom using materials from Re-use Hawaiʻi provides a happy feeling and means a lot to us. We are reducing waste to landfills, helping communities, and lowering our cost.”
That’s what reuse is all about — seeing the potential in materials and giving them another chance to become something completely new. 💚♻️
Mahalo, Bella L, for sharing your project with us. We’re stoked to see where these materials ended up!

Growing Together 🌱♻️

Our 20% off on the 20th is carrying through the end of the weekend! 🎉 If you’ve been waiting to give something a second life, now’s a pretty good time to come see what’s waiting for you.

But growth isn’t always measured by how much we have—it’s also measured by how much we’re willing to give.

In times of need, Hawaiʻi has a way of reminding us what community really means. We show up. We share what we can. We make room for one another. And sometimes, something as simple as passing along a couch, a piece of lumber, or something we no longer need can become exactly what someone else was looking for.

As Re-use Hawaiʻi continues to grow, we’re grateful that our community continues to grow right alongside us. 💚

Mahalo to everyone who shops, donates, shares, supports, and believes in giving things—and people—another opportunity.

Keep being awesome, Hawaiʻi. 🤙🏽

Some people have a job description. Miko somehow has all of them. 😂💚
Miko is truly one of the most selfless people you’ll ever meet—the kind of person who would give you the shirt off his back without thinking twice.
Need someone to run the register? Miko’s got it.
Take donations? Yup.
Drive the forklift? Easy.
Fix that same forklift when it decides it’s done working? Miko’s already grabbing the tools. 🔧😂
His willingness to jump in wherever he’s needed, help our customers, support his teammates, and keep everything moving means more than we can say.
Now… does he have a slight problem letting go of a welder? Maybe. 👀 We’re not saying he’s a hoarder… but we’re also not saying he isn’t dangerously close. 😂
Mahalo, Miko, for everything you do for our team, our customers, and the mission. We appreciate ALL of you and are lucky to have you in our Re-use Hawaiʻi ʻohana. 💚🤙

A little appreciation post for Ariel, our Sales Team Lead. 🤘🎙️
Ariel is truly a one-man wrecking crew—in the best possible way. Whether he’s helping a customer find exactly what they need, supporting his teammates, keeping things moving on the sales floor, or stepping up wherever he’s needed, he gives so much of himself to the people around him and to the mission of Re-use Hawaiʻi.
We’re incredibly grateful for everything Ariel does for our customers, our team, and our community. His willingness to jump in, help others, and somehow keep things fun along the way makes a huge difference.
We’re stoked to have you on this team, Ariel! 💚🤘
Now our next mission: free up enough of his time so we can finally put those voice-acting skills to work and get a wicked Ariel voice-over on one of our videos. 🎙️😂 Stay tuned...

Leadership doesn’t always mean having all the answers—it can also mean being willing to step forward, share what you know, and bring others along for the journey. 💚
We’re highlighting Nat and what Value #3: Lead with Purpose looks like in his own words:
“Follow me and I might lead you to fish, starting with a dolphin.” 🐬🎣😂
A little humor, a lot of heart, and a reminder that leadership can look different for everyone.

Leading with purpose means growing alongside the mission.
Michaela’s journey at Re-use Hawaiʻi began as a Sales Associate. Through hard work, dedication, and a genuine commitment to the people we serve, she has grown into our Director of Administration.
Today, she oversees our financial operations, supports our team through human resources, analyzes the data that measures our environmental and community impact, and helps provide the operational foundation that keeps our mission moving forward.
This December, Michaela celebrates 10 years with Re-use Hawaiʻi—a decade of growth, leadership, and unwavering commitment.
Her journey is a reminder that when you lead with purpose, every step forward creates opportunities to make an even greater impact.
Mahalo, Michaela, for everything you do behind the scenes to strengthen our team, our mission, and the communities we serve. 💚♻️

Leadership is about creating an environment where everyone can contribute their unique strengths toward a shared mission.
Today, we’re honored to spotlight Mariane, our Director of Fundraising & Strategic Communications.
“Everyone has an essential role to play when we lead with purpose.”
That belief is reflected in the way Mariane leads every day—building meaningful relationships, strengthening partnerships, and helping connect our community to Re-use Hawaiʻi’s mission. Her leadership reminds us that lasting impact isn’t created by one person, but by empowering others to be part of something bigger.
Today also marks a special milestone as we celebrate Mariane’s one-year anniversary with Re-use Hawaiʻi! 🎉
Mahalo, Mariane, for a year of thoughtful leadership, collaboration, and dedication to our mission. We’re grateful for everything you’ve brought to our team and community, and we’re excited for all that’s ahead.
Happy One-Year Anniversary! 💚♻️

Value #3: Lead with Purpose
Leadership isn’t measured by a title—it’s reflected in the choices we make every day.
At Re-use Hawaiʻi, those choices mean seeing potential where others see waste, creating opportunities for our community, and staying committed to our mission of giving materials a second life.
This week, we’re shining a light on the leaders who help guide that mission. Join us as we share their stories, perspectives, and what Leading with Purpose means to them.
Because every piece you see here started with a purpose—and every decision behind it was made with our community in mind. ♻️💚
