We are a small, hopeful social enterprise.
PLANET: We divert household/dorm student furniture and household goods from the landfill, partnering with Colorado State University, apartment complexes and members of the community when they vacate their homes.
PEOPLE: We partner with local non-profits to provide much needed second hand household essentials to their clients. We seek to shore up the work of Social Workers in the community,
who are the backbone of the provision of services to our under-served neighbors.
PLACE: We support the students and community of Fort Collins by repairing, preserving and re-selling low cost household goods and furniture . This reduces waste, promotes local economy, and seeks to prevent high consumerism of new goods with viable options available.
Fort Collins is amazing, vibrant and
a city on the move.
Literally.
From May to August,
tens of thousands of students, residents, and visitors sail in and out of town.
Tons (many, many tons...) of useful chairs, adorable pillows, tables with character, bookshelves that hold wisdom, plates and forks and knives to feed the masses, and all
Fort Collins is amazing, vibrant and

Literally.
From May to August,
tens of thousands of students, residents, and visitors sail in and out of town.
Tons (many, many tons...) of useful chairs, adorable pillows, tables with character, bookshelves that hold wisdom, plates and forks and knives to feed the masses, and all other quirky items get sent to the dump, never reaching their full potential.
With the County's landfill set to close in 2024, items tossed are items lost.

We are back for our fifth season!
We were one of several agencies on Colorado State University campus for their sustainability dorm move out program every year. It is wonderful, amazing, and yet still a bit disheartening that so much usable household goods go straight into our (soon to be closing) Landfill.
We have been doing our best to re-route those goods as donations to those in need to our community, and make them available for sale for incoming students and the FoCo community.
Thanks for being part of the solution, and the circular economy.
We run May-August when all the moving and shaking happens in town!
We thank Colorado State University,
CSU Housing/ Dining Services and Sustainability
and The City of Fort Collins
for your ongoing support of our mission to divert usable household items from the landfill.
We fix/repair/refurbish in order to resell low cost furniture to the community.
We donated approximately 1/3 of our inventory last season to non-profits and people in need.
We create "Starter Boxes"
(basically a "kitchen in a box" plus bedding- whatever we have on hand!)
to the many non-profits and case managers who serve our neighbors in need.
You are welcome to contact us directly if you are one of our neighbors in need.
You are welcome to contact us directly if you have items to donate. Thank you!

SPARE SOME CHANGE?
Our not-very-regular post to help you make doable changes that reflect your values.
We can't be perfect environmentalists, but we can together start a tsunami of change.
Our love language is "Walk Gently."
Happy Valentines Day to our fellow lovers of flowers (buy local!)
Sad fact: Most long stem red roses come from Ecuador, because the stems grow straight due to the proximity to the equator= huge carbon footprint. Don't let Hallmark dictate your decisions!
