Reuse becomes local impact when people choose goods already in circulation.RAWG recognizes both sides of reuse. Sellers keep usable goods moving. Buyers choose reuse instead of unnecessary replacement. Community reports use completed RAWG transactions, privacy-safe city/state participation, and transparent estimates rather than exposing home locations or pretending every item has the same environmental footprint.

Buyers and sellers both help their community keep useful goods moving.Filter by city and state or view the network. The report counts completed RAWG transactions tied to users who explicitly share a city/state community identity.
Buyers and sellers can choose to appear. Rankings use completed reuse participation—not spending, wealth, exact location, or private account data.
Your public handle can show verified buyer reviews, verified seller reviews, reuse purchases, reuse sales and community recognition. Nothing appears on the leaderboard unless you opt in.
RAWG’s marketplace control plane stores listing metadata and media pointers rather than treating a seller’s private photo library as a public cloud album. Sellers choose what becomes a listing.
Community reports use user-selected city/state labels. Exact seller home addresses and precise seller coordinates are not leaderboard inputs.
Buyer and seller reviews unlock only after a completed transaction. Reviews are blind until both sides submit or the review window expires.
RAWG measures what it actually knows—completed marketplace transactions—and labels environmental estimates clearly. It does not claim every secondhand purchase guarantees a fixed carbon, water or landfill reduction.
EPA reports 17.03 million U.S. tons of textiles generated and 11.3 million tons landfilled in 2018. RAWG uses public waste context to explain why keeping useful goods circulating matters.
