Just in time for the start of school, three area nonprofits have teamed up to offer a super sale on reusable goods, furniture, electronics, architectural salvage items and more.

On August 22-23, new and returning students as well as area residents will find a compact route for the ReUse Trail at three Ithaca locations running from a Tag Sale for Habitat for Humanity at Pritchard Automotive on Cayuga Street to a Sidewalk Sale at Significant Elements on Center Street and down Plain Street to a Tent Sale at the future Ithaca ReUse Center on Old Elmira Road.

Dollars spent on all goods will benefit Habitat for Humanity of Tompkins and Cortland Counties, Historic Ithaca’s Significant Elements, and Finger Lakes ReUse. All three organizations support economic, environmental, social, and cultural sustainability in our community.

“We’re launching the ReUse Trail sale on August 22 and 23 to welcome new students and residents with great bargains on items they need,” says Sara Johnson, manager of Significant Elements. “We also want to promote our area’s culture that values sustainability in a community where people enjoy and appreciate reusing and repurposing goods that can lead a second or third life.”

Items for sale will range from furniture, household goods, vintage treasures, and hard-to-find house parts to appliances, tools, computer parts, accessories, and other electronics.
