Did you know the Bay West site also has a free product reuse room? The staff will set aside items that still have usable product left for residents to take for free —consider taking a peek if you have a project needing a specialized cleaner, solvent, or adhesive!

Results will be listed from most to least environmentally -friendly reuse or disposal options. Page 15 of 115
