What is Reconsidered Goods all about?

What is Reconsidered Goods all about? The short version is that we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that takes donated materials from manufacturers and individuals, helps divert them from landfills, and puts them into the hands of artists, makers, teachers, children, and other reuse advocates to create something new. 

​

Our mission is to promote environmental awareness, community engagement, and creative expression through reuse, education, and the arts.
