MassRecycle presented the award before more than 100 guests at Wachusett Mountain Ski Area in Westminster, Mass. The statewide nonprofit focuses on recycling, reuse and sustainable materials management. Chris Macnamara, ReSupply’s co-founder and vice president of growth, accepted the award on behalf of the team.
MassRecycle called ReSupply’s work “an innovative approach to a persistent challenge in municipal waste management.” That challenge is keeping usable bulky household items out of the disposal stream.
Guests came from municipalities, businesses, schools, waste service providers and nonprofits. Together, the evening celebrated the programs and people helping conserve resources, reduce waste and protect the environment.

Why MassRecycle recognized ReSupply
MassRecycle highlighted the gap that ReSupply fills. “A major barrier to furniture reuse is not a lack of residents willing to donate or organizations willing to accept usable items, but the challenge of moving large items from one place to another,” MassRecycle said.
ReSupply’s home donation pickup service provides the heavy lifting and hauling that keeps items in circulation. Residents book online and select any item they wish to donate, of any size, from anywhere in the home. ReSupply matches the items to the right vehicle and driver, and a professional team moves everything out, handling stairs and disassembly, then takes it to charity.
MassRecycle also pointed to the national network behind that service. ReSupply works with more than 3,000 charity partner locations across 48 states, so donated items reach organizations that can put them to use.
A curbside reuse pilot with the Town of Bedford
MassRecycle also recognized ReSupply’s work with Massachusetts towns. “In 2026, ReSupply partnered with the Town of Bedford on a curbside bulky-item diversion pilot, demonstrating how reuse can be integrated into existing municipal collection systems while remaining convenient for residents,” MassRecycle said.
The pilot, which was the first of its kind in Massachusetts, was deemed a success. It reduced bulky waste by 35% and diverted two tons of furniture from landfills, and town officials reported that approximately one in three items being discarded was donated for reuse.
ReSupply is now working to expand those services to municipalities throughout Massachusetts.
Recognition close to home
“ReSupply is honored to be recognized by MassRecycle,” Macnamara said. “We’re on a mission to make it easier for residents to reduce waste and give back. As a Massachusetts-based company that works with charities in communities across the country, it means a lot to have our work recognized by an organization that is dedicated to supporting the circular economy in the state we call home, and to keep building on it with towns like Bedford.”
Keeping furniture out of landfills
MassRecycle pointed to the range of community benefits in ReSupply’s model: less waste, more goods for charities and usable household items for families who need them.
Across the country, ReSupply has diverted 80 million pounds from landfill and delivered $90 million in resources to charities.
ReSupply is also a Veteran-Founded company, and creating careers for people moving from military service into civilian work is part of its mission.

About the MassRecycle awards
During the event, MassRecycle presented awards in nine categories, from Business to Volunteer. The awards honor work in recycling, reuse, composting and waste diversion. In addition, posters highlighted every nominee from across Massachusetts.
MassRecycle also presented four Lifetime Commitment Awards. These went to people whose careers have made a lasting impact on sustainable waste management.
Beyond the awards, the Fall Social doubled as MassRecycle’s annual meeting. There, the organization thanked its members and sponsors and shared highlights from the past year. Finally, members elected the Board of Directors for the coming term.
The evening underscored the power of innovation and collaboration in building a more sustainable future. By bringing together people who are developing solutions, championing change, and inspiring their communities, MassRecycle continues to strengthen the network of leaders advancing waste reduction and resource conservation across Massachusetts.
