The ReUse People of America (TRP) is a nonprofit environmental services organization focused on diverting building materials from the landfill through deconstruction. Founded in 1993, it operates as the largest deconstruction entity in the United States and maintains a nationwide presence with additional activity in Canada, based in Oakland, California. The organization accepts donated used construction materials from demolition and remodeling projects, supporting both residential and commercial deconstruction efforts. In addition to material salvage, TRP provides project consulting and job skills training through its The ReUse Institute (TRI) branch. Its work targets customers involved in construction and renovation who seek sustainable material reuse and waste reduction strategies. A recent development includes the release of a white paper on designing and implementing a deconstruction ordinance, signaling ongoing engagement with policy and industry best practices.
