Our Mission
To keep furniture in your homes and out of the dumpster
Furniture waste has become one of the fastest growing landfill categories in recent years. Think about your daily commute, chances are you’ve seen a chair or sofa dumped on the side of the road. You may have even dumped off furniture yourself. Over 12 million tons of furniture waste is generated annually in the US alone, with 80% going directly to our landfills. Additionally, only 0.3% of what is discarded is recovered for recycling.* This rapid growth is only exacerbated by the increasing trend of “fast furniture”, which encourages consumers to update their home decor to follow the ever changing trend.
Unfortunately, the saying “they don’t make them like they used to” is especially true with furniture these days, as they are produced with low quality materials to be sold at lower prices. Lower prices means it’s likely more expensive to fix than to replace. Low quality materials also means it’s harder to process and salvage before being disposed of. For example, instead of solid wood, chipboard is used instead which is made up of chopped wood pieces sealed with adhesives. Other chemicals and compounds could keep furniture from being combusted for energy recovery and sent to the landfill instead.
