The Hamilton County Solid Waste Management District (District) is proud to announce its new reuse program - The Treasure Chest.  This web-based program features the "wish lists" of all participating non-profit organizations in the Greater Cincinnati area. 

There are two goals of The Treasure Chest program. 

1. One is to increase the amount of donations to non-profit organizations throughout the Greater Cincinnati region.
2. The other is to decrease the amount of reusable material that is sent to local landfills.

The program is simple!

Residents and businesses that are looking for reuse outlets can easily check this site for organizations that need their materials. Furthermore, if a local non-profit has an abundance of materials that can not be stored on-site, they can search this website to find another non-profit that may need those materials.

 

Benefits of Participation

Businesses and residents benefit from this program by donating items that otherwise would be thrown away.  Additionally, these donations are eligible for tax deductions.  Non-profit organizations can use this program as one more way to advertise items that are needed in order to provide valuable services to Greater Cincinnati residents.

 

As a Non-Profit Organization, How Do I Become Involved?

Participation in the program is easy!  Just complete the participation form and fax it to the District at (513) 946-7779. Once enrolled in the program, the District will contact your organization to receive its “wish lists.”  Each quarter, the District will update The Treasure Chest's website with your organization's list of needed materials (i.e., sheets, towels, kitchen supplies, office supplies, etc.).
