Specialties
We are America's largest "Industrial Thrift Store"! You can expect to save up to 50-75% off new when shopping our large inventories of used, surplus and salvage.
Our mission is to maximize value and sustainability through creative re-use. “repurposing” is taking a byproduct or waste stream such as a retired street sweeper brush and giving it a 2nd life as a backscratcher for horses or cattle. It is taking a decommissioned fire hose and giving it an extended life as a boat dock fender. There are so many possibilities when "repurposing" used materials.
We receive new inventory weekly so it's best to see what's new before it's gone!
History
Established in 2010.
This September marks 15 years since repurposedMATERIALS made our very first sale in 2010—transforming old billboard vinyls into painter’s drop cloths. What began as a simple idea has grown into a nationwide movement, giving thousands of retired materials a second life and keeping millions of pounds out of landfills.
Through it all, one thing hasn’t changed: our commitment to fair, surplus-based pricing. We couldn’t have reached this milestone without our incredible customers, partners, and team members. Thank you for being part of our journey in turning “waste” into opportunity!
Here’s the best part: in all these years, our Billboard Vinyl prices have NEVER changed. The same fair, surplus-based deals you got then are the same ones you can count on today.
Meet the Business Owner: Damon C.
I’m Damon Carson, and the idea for repurposedMATERIALS came while I was working in the waste management industry. Every day I saw perfectly usable materials headed to the landfill. A friend once told me, “If you ever get old billboard vinyls, sell them as drop cloths.” I gave it a try, and they sold fast. That one idea sparked everything that’s followed.
Today, we’ve helped "repurpose" millions of pounds of surplus and byproducts into new uses nationwide — from fire hoses turned into wallets to bowling alley wood becoming tables. What inspires me is simple: saving resources and helping people solve problems creatively, affordably, and sustainably.
Thanks for being part of the journey. With your support, we’re proving one person’s cast-off can become another’s opportunity.
