Society tends to throw away anything that is not useful to us anymore. Our disposable culture also encourages us to buy more than what we truly need. Many people and organizations have usable materials either leftover or never used. We hope to influence your cultural relationship with "stuff," by demonstrating that we already have enough materials available locally in our community. 

​

The recycling process involves both mechanical and natural resources, so reuse can be a more efficient first step. Since the majority of the materials we collect will end up in the landfill one day, our aim is to give them another life and reduce the need for and consumption of new materials.

 

By providing a more affordable alternative for obtaining creative materials, we aim to reduce economic gaps and increase quality of life for all people. Need some basic tools for a new hobby you aren't sure you'll stick to? Buy them here instead of buying them at at a more expensive price!
