Please call ahead if you have more than 4 bags/boxes. Not sure if we'd be interested? Before lugging it in, email us at [email protected] with a description and/or photos of your items and we will let you know. We also gratefully accept donations of all salable merchandise and are happy to do local porch pickups. We do not have an outlet for things that we cannot sell, however, so if you have a large donation, please email Eric & Katherine first to make sure it's a good fit: [email protected]

Thank you for your continued support!

College application season is here, and we know a lot of folks are going through it right now. Applications, essays, deadlines… and then the waiting.

So, inspired by local author Michelene Esposito’s new YA romance Spinning Into Gold, we’re starting a little community storytelling project called "Rejection Letters We're Glad We Got."

We want to hear your story. What’s a “no” that eventually led you somewhere better?

Tell us in the comments or send us a DM, and keep an eye out for Spinning Into Gold coming soon to Rocket Reuse!

Today is my birthday and life is good! 🥳

The past year has been one of huge, positive transitions. Creating this new space has been incredibly meaningful and gratifying. It's so exciting to finally see our vision take shape, and I am just so grateful for all the love and support you’ve shown us along the way and every day.

Here's to more dream chasing🌛⭐️♍️
