Overview

Mission

To re-orient consumers away from a throw away mentality by collecting cleaning and repairing consumer goods for sale or donation that would traditionally go into landfills. We make used items available for consumer purchase and reinvest earnings to conduct seminars workshops and other learning forums.

What it reported doing in 2025

The offering for sale of used and serviceable consumer products means fewer throw-away items end up in landfills. Persons benefitted are the purchasers of the goods sold and the relief to taxpayers for reduced costs of opening and maintaining future landfills.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 96% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
