Keep up the good work!" - David

repurposedINBOX: "Would you be interested in the following track lighting fixture? We have 99 pieces. This type of product would be used in a merchandising application- jewelry store, retail etc. The fixtures are energy efficient and have extremely high CRI. The units are brand new and in original packaging (never used). We are the manufacturer and have a bit of a space problem. In addition, we do not wish to sell the products through our existing channel as it would dilute our brand." - Steven Parker

Shipping Container Bridge. "We needed a bridge on our vacation property. My wife came up with the idea of a cargo container. No underlayment or anything needed; simply a 50 ton crane to swing it into place. Budget: $2500 delivered and only another $800 for the rear door installed & $600 for the crane. All in all a real bargain!" - Bob Burchett in California.
RE: Bob, we love nothing more than a smart "poor man's" solution. Brilliant!!

BEFORE: "I have sport court flooring tiles. Was hoping it could be 'repurposed' versus going in a landfill. the floor was acquired by our non-profit from a private school that decided to go with a wood floor. They thought they had 9,000 sq ft of product but it was only 6,000-6,500. We were going to order additional product to do our 8,200 sq ft gym, but the product is no longer made in the same tile thickness." - Neal

repurposedINBOX: "Damon, New developments on the wire – seems like our scrap yard is utilizing the old bait and switch ploy. On the phone they told me up to $2.25 a pound – I just took them a big and a small roll, 111 lbs, and they gave me $83.25 – $0.75 a pound. So, that changes things significantly. I’m glad I didn’t take it all there – would you be interested in the whole lot – now about 23,000 feet?" - Matt

repurposedINBOX: "Attached are photos from our secondary warehouse showing piles of tents that we wish to 'repurpose'. There is a 130' X 295' Circus Tent made of white vinyl and sewn in aircraft stainless steel cable that is very strong. It was made in 1994 or 1995 and then was used 2x/yr for about 8 years for college graduations and then was put into storage. It should still be in good shape. There are also two 100' X approximately 200' white vinyl tents. The 100' Wide Tents are in rough shape and were used as portable barns for horse shows. There is a 100' x 100; Green & White canvas tent that comes in (4) 50' x 50' pieces. This tent was hardly ever used. There are numerous smaller tent tops that range in size from 10x20 to 20x40. We are currently cleaning out this warehouse and can load them in your truck ASAP." - Bill in Rhode Island
AFTER: "My daughter Hannah is getting married in the middle of the woods in a glen in the hills of West Virginia. We are going to use the tent as the covering suspended from the trees." - Tom

repurposedINBOX: "Good Morning, Coca-Cola has 25 metal carts they’ve asked us to recycle. Prior to reaching out to move these as recyclable material, I’d like to check to see if you have any interest in the carts for "repurposing"? They were utilized to hold cases of Coke, and then rolled onto trailers for transport." -Danielle

Demolition Help: "Hi Damon, We have a project that will involve a large amount of demolition and material removal. This project will also be a LEED Certified project (possibly Gold), and we are looking into ways that we may be able to obtain required credits. This specific project involves demolishing two high rise buildings. If you could give me more insight into your business and how it might be beneficial for our project, that would be great." - Lynnsee RE:

repurposedONBOX: (May 30th, 2017) "I thought you guys would like this shooting target printed on the pizza boxes at this Palmer, Alaska pizzeria. This is instantly ready for 'repurposing' once that last slice of pizza is eaten. Just nail it to a tree and the cardboard is ready for it's 2nd life as a target." - Dray
Update: Dray, Our founder, Damon Carson, thought this pizza box shooting target was one of the smartest "repurposing" ideas ever. He liked it so much, that when he was in a Alaska last week, he stopped by the Palmer Alehouse to buy a pizza! Kudos to the Alehouse for their progressive "repurposing" efforts! Dray, thanks for sending this "repurpose" story!
