The ReBuilding Center is Ready!

The ReBuilding Center, a project of Our United Villages, works to strengthen the environmental, economic, and social fabric of local communities.

Founded by volunteers in 1998, The ReBuilding Center is the nation’s largest non-profit reuse center for salvaged construction and remodeling materials (sinks, tubs, tile, lumber, doors, windows, trim and much more). The ReBuilding Center also includes DeConstruction Services, a sustainable alternative to conventional demolition, and ReFind Furniture, offering a diverse line of green furniture and home accessories. Plus, The ReBuilding Center offers a free-pick up service, numerous volunteer opportunities, donations of used building materials for community projects, and an education program.



The ReBuilding Center serves as an anchor for North Portland, contributing to the local community’s economic and social vitality.

About 90 percent of our full-time staff members live in North/Northeast Portland. We offer living-wage positions with generous benefits.
