The purpose of the program is to provide a venue for the recycling of reusable household items. This includes furniture, lamps, electronics and other working household items.

The program is designed to increase awareness of “reduce, reuse, recycle” by creating an alternative means of reusing items that would otherwise end up in a landfill.
