Keeping good stuff in the loop
Loopway is a directory built around one question: when something has outlived its use in your house, where does it actually go?
Recycling and reuse infrastructure in the United States is fragmented — every state runs its own agency, hundreds of nonprofits and small businesses fill in the gaps, and the right answer for a broken laptop is completely different from the right answer for a stained couch. We built Loopway to make that first step easy: pick a category or a state, and get pointed toward a real organization instead of a search engine rabbit hole.
What “circular economy” means here
A circular economy keeps materials cycling through reduce, reuse, repair, and recycle — instead of the traditional take-make-dispose model that ends in a landfill.
What’s on this site
Loopway covers a categories guide, a state-by-state directory, a national directory, and a running Project of the Month feature, including our annual Earth Day Award.
A note on accuracy
We compile listings from official sources and public web searches, and we do our best to keep names, agencies, and links current. Government agencies reorganize, nonprofits rebrand, and URLs change. If something on this site is out of date, incorrect, or missing, please let us know — corrections are always welcome.
