A social enterprise is a "civic-driven business that generates income for causes like social and environmental issues." United Way
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
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 other quirky items get sent to the dump, never reaching their full potential.
With the County's landfill set to close in 2027, items tossed are items lost.
Your trash is not only someone's treasure,
it could be a necessity.

WHEN: We are seasonally available from
May to August,
when all the stuff ends up on the sidewalk or landfill;
WHERE: We seasonally rent a large Shop just north of Old Town, with items also listed and purchased online, or by visiting us
by appointment only.
Our items sell fast and it is best to follow
(and LIKE!) ChairTableHome on
Instagram and Facebook. Our inventory on this site can lag behind sales.
(Yes, we pick up and deliver when possible)
WHY: Our mission is to offset the tremendous environment waste in a college town
while creating social impact
in re-selling at low cost, which funds our ability to donation to our neighbors in need.
In our off season, (September - April) we work remotely, connecting donations
with case managers
for their clients in need of furnishings.
Departing Fort Collins?
We'll miss you, but we will find a new home for your gently loved household goods

and pick up (small fee included,
instead of the dump fee!).

We are back for our EIGHTH season (MAY-AUGUST)!
We are so honored to be part of #ColoradoStateUniversity
dorm move out program, but it’s a big job!
We are a very small social enterprise with big dreams!
We rely on Volunteers and we need your help.
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 re-route those goods as donations to those in need in our community,
and make them available for re-sale for incoming #RAMILY students
(especially #CSUClassof2030)
and the larger FoCo community.

Thanks for being part of the solution, and the circular economy.
The biggest help you can provide us if you are currently a student
in the dormitories at Colorado State University is to
DONATE WITH DIGNITY
We request CLEAN sheets/towels, clothing, unbroken items,
and worthy of gifting forward.
We run May-August when all the moving and shaking happens in town!
We thank Colorado State University, the City of Fort Collins,
CSU Housing/ Dining Services, our steady volunteer pool ,
the staff and volunteers at Homeward Alliance, and CSU Social Work Interns
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.
Besides donating thousands of pounds of clothing and bedding to our non-profit partners,
last year we upcycled close to 2500 pounds of additional textiles
to a local textile recycler to be upcycled for their goals of sale/donation,
oil spill absorption rags, insulation, or fiber feedstock.
We create "Starter Boxes"
(basically a "kitchen in a box" plus bedding- whatever we have on hand!)
to the many non-profit 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!
