We’re looking for a STORE ASSOCIATE/WAREHOUSE ASSOCIATE

For over a decade now, ReUse Action has been reclaiming lumber, insulation and building materials and selling these materials to the public. We’re hoping to identify a candidate to join our retail team as a Store Associate.

Every team member brings a diverse set of skills and experiences to strengthen the team and we’re eager to find another passionate contributor.

In addition to reclaiming materials and running our storefront, we have a ReUse Builders division, doing new construction and rebuilding efforts throughout Western New York, focused on older buildings and incorporating reclaimed materials.
