The Away Station

The mission of The Away Station is to productively and creatively serve the community and the planet by the organized collection and redistribution of the by-products of consumption. This is done by providing a way for people to effortlessly get rid of unwanted items knowing that these items will go to good use and not go into the land-fill.

It is also A Way for people to:

1. Responsibly, at one stop, dispose of unwanted items including:

Building materials, hardware, fixtures, and cabinetry
Tools
Landscape and gardening materials
Shelving, house wares, and hard furniture
Collectibles and antiques
Some sporting goods and office supplies
Art markings, Art supplies, and materials
2. Practice “eco-sumption” by shopping for all of the above items in one place.

1. Creatively re-purpose, re-make, repair and resell these previously unwanted items.

2. Provide more jobs, passionate work, training and education.

This all results in shifting public consciousness from endless consumption to responsible interaction with the goods and products of our lifestyle and their impact on the planet.
