Rush University Medical Center diverts 53,000 pounds of furniture waste with Rheaply

RUSH University Medical Center, a renowned academic medical center in Chicago, faced a challenge when demolishing a building: diverting tons of leftover office furniture from the landfill. They partnered with the vendor Rheaply and used the Rheaply Platform to facilitate the internal reuse of these assets.

Using the Rheaply Platform, RUSH was able to facilitate the exchange of furniture internally. The solution diverted 53,000 pounds of waste from landfills and recaptured an estimated $200,000 in asset value. Rheaply's data reporting also helped RUSH optimize its process by identifying high-demand items for a new reuse warehouse, further scaling their sustainability efforts.
