NextStep ReUse Store

🎉🎂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KEVIN! 🎂🎉

Today we celebrated Kevin with cake, a song, and just a little NextStep silliness! 🥳

Kevin, thank you for all of your hard work, dedication, and everything you do for NextStep. We appreciate you and are so glad you’re part of our team! 🧡

Happy Birthday, Kevin! Here’s to a great year ahead! 🎉

📚💻 SCHOOL IS HERE—AND HOMEWORK ISN’T GOING TO DO ITSELF!

Need a laptop, monitor, keyboard, charger, cables, or other school-year essentials? Stop by the NextStep ReUse Store at 987 Garfield Street, in Eugene for affordable electronics for students of all ages!

College students—and everyone else—can also explore the UO–NextStep Surplus Store at 547 Q Street in Springfield for electronics, furniture, housewares, and those unexpected treasures you didn’t know you needed!

Save money, support a local nonprofit, and keep useful items out of landfills. Now THAT is a smart start to the school year! ♻️🎓

Happy Labor Day from NextStep!

This weekend, we celebrate the hardworking employees, volunteers, and job trainees who keep our mission moving—and the incredible community that makes it all possible.

Because of you, technology stays out of landfills, affordable computers reach people who might otherwise go without, and individuals facing barriers gain valuable job skills, confidence, and real-world experience.

We will be closed for Labor Day so our hardworking team can enjoy a well-deserved break. Thank you for helping us build a greener, more connected community—one NextStep at a time! 💚

Technology + Community = Opportunity 💙
NextStep was proud to donate 12 laptops to The Hope Project’s After School Program, helping give local students the technology they need to learn, grow, and succeed.

A huge thank you to Ken Brown and The Hope Project for the incredible work they’re doing for kids in our community. We love seeing technology get a second life—especially when that second life helps create brighter futures. 💙

This is what community looks like: organizations working together, resources going where they’re needed, and kids getting more opportunities to thrive.

We’re honored to be a small part of it. 💻✨

Today, NextStep Recycling celebrated two incredible people who support our mission and help make everything we do possible! 🧡

Rick Tromel is celebrating an amazing 20 years of volunteering with NextStep! A retired rocket scientist—yes, an actual rocket scientist—Rick continues to give his time and talents to help our community, protect the environment, and support others in achieving their goals. 🚀

We also celebrated the birthday of our one and only Executive Director, Jessica Ahrenholtz! Her passion, leadership, and huge heart reach far beyond NextStep, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she does.

Rick and Jessica, we are so lucky to have you both on our team. Congratulations on 20 amazing years, Rick—and happiest of birthdays to Jessica! 🎉🎂

"Simply Youth Institute would like to extend their sincere gratitude to Jessica Ahrenholtz, Executive Director of NextStep Recycling, for donating 10 laptops to our SAGACITY students.

Access to technology opens doors to learning, career exploration, college preparation, and creative expression. These laptops will give our students valuable tools they can use throughout the program and beyond, helping them build digital skills and pursue new opportunities with confidence.

NextStep Recycling's generosity is helping remove barriers and create opportunities that will have a lasting impact. Thank you for believing in our students and investing in their futures!"
