Seattle, meet Rheaply.
Why Seattle?
What is the Rheaply Reuse Marketplace?
The Rheaply Reuse Marketplace is built with the needs of architecture, engineering, construction, and real estate professionals in mind and was designed to facilitate the reuse of valuable resources within organizations and across communities. Rheaply’s focus on construction materials, building products, and workplace resources means our marketplace is perfect for organizations leveraging reuse to meet their business needs. The platform also tracks metrics related to weight and embodied carbon to understand the true environmental impact of the marketplace. Whether it’s office equipment, furniture, or surplus materials, the Marketplace connects those with resources to spare to those who can put them to good use.
"We're excited to support Rheaply's expansion of the Circular Cities marketplaces. Maximizing the lifespan of products and materials is a critical tool for reducing waste and lowering emissions, and Rheaply's platform will help advance these efforts in Seattle."

For Seattle businesses looking to donate or sell surplus inventory
Have extra building materials you no longer need? You’re in good company. Roughly 77% of the organizations using the Seattle Reuse Marketplace today are small business (69%) and nonprofits (8%).
The Seattle Reuse Marketplace offers two avenues for redistributing surplus and reclaimed building materials and products. You can post your items for sale to recover their value and open a new revenue stream for your business, or you can post the items for free to move them quickly or make meaningful donations to local nonprofits in need.
When you create your listings you’re in control of how you’d like to fulfill your exchanges. Designate local pickup only if you’d like your buyer or donation recipients to retrieve items onsite, or choose your preferred shipping or delivery method.
Leverage Rheaply’s in-app messaging features to communicate with interested buyers or donation recipients, answer any questions they might have about your items, coordinate pickup schedules, and more.
