What is Retail with a Mission?

Retail with a mission is our practice of the environmental principals of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. We consider ourselves a “reuse” business with a focus on extending the life of usable products.

 

Are You Practicing the 4R’s?

 

Reduce

“Waste prevention, or “source reduction” consuming and throwing away less. Source reduction actually prevents the generation of waste in the first place, so it is the most preferred method of waste management and goes a long way toward protecting the environment.”
(U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)

Reuse

“Reusing items – by repairing them, donating them to charity and community groups … - also reduces waste. Reusing product, when possible, is even better than recycling because the item does not need to be reprocessed before it can be used again.”
(U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)

Recycle

“Recycling turns materials that would otherwise become waste into valuable resources. …”
(U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)

ReStore

As a citizen of this planet we all need to do our part in practicing the “4 R’s” – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – ReStore. The ReStore is a resource to help you do just that. We welcome donations of new and gently used home improvement products, home furnishings and appliances; that we sell to the public at bargain prices to support the building of affordable homes for qualified low income families.
