Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Advocacy
BRING's Board and staff may engage in advocacy for a cause, idea, or public policy that supports BRING's Mission and Strategic Goals.
Construction Materials Recovery and Reuse
BRING provides construction-related waste-prevention training, resources, and direct assistance to help local architects and contractors save money and reduce the amount of material they throw away.
Consulting Services
BRING offers fee-based consulting services for businesses and organizations interested in reducing waste, saving money and improving their environmental performance. Some of BRING's services include waste assessment studies, GHG inventorying, research, and sustainability reporting.
Education
BRING provides workshops, activities, and presentations to groups of all ages throughout the county. Each year the education program reaches well over 15,000 individuals with the reduce, reuse, recycle message.
Rethink
Rethink Business provides free, hands-on services for businesses in Lane County. We offer independent, confidential advice on cost-efficient ways to reduce waste, recycle more, and use less electricity, water and materials. Businesses that meet conservation benchmarks are eligible to receive the Rethink Recognition Award and publicity for their efforts.
Reuse
The BRING Store, as a service to the community, receives donated reusable materials, keeping those materials out of the landfill. Employees process the materials and sell them to the public at prices less than new. We are pleased that the community shares our values of reuse. We appreciate all those who donate materials and those who shop!
