ReUse MegaCenter Is Moving

For years, the ReUse MegaCenter at Triphammer Mall has served locals with discounted used furniture, housewares and materials. The location has been a popular spot for college students furnishing their apartments after their big move. Now, it’s the ReUse MegaCenter’s turn to leave its home, according to an announcement from the business.

The MegaCenter will be moving just across the highway to the Cayuga Shopping Center at 2309 N. Triphammer Road.

“This move marks a significant milestone in the organization’s mission to enhance community, economy and environment through reuse in Tompkins County,” the release states. “The anticipated opening date of the Cayuga ReUse Center is summer 2026.”



Finger Lakes ReUse sells used goods, ranging from eclectic sofas to deconstructed building materials to electronics. The nonprofit’s stores, which include the Ithaca Reuse and the ReUse MegaCenter, host a number of educational and volunteer events like a quilters club and de-nailing days.

The organization also hosts a ReSet program, giving underserved people 16 and older hands-on-training to improve their informational technology and retail skills.

Until the new location opens, ReUse will update its hours both at the current megacenter in the Village of Lansing and at their Ithaca ReUse location at 214 Elmira Road.

Effective May 1, shopping hours at both locations will expand to include 6 pm to 8 pm daily, with donation hours temporarily reduced from 10 am to 4 pm, Friday through Monday.

ReUse will also temporarily stop accepting donations on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

“This change, effective Friday, 5/01/2026, will offer more convenient shopping hours and provide ReUse with the opportunity to distribute an increasing backlog of materials generated by this community’s generosity,” the release states.
