Our Impact on the Planet
"By choosing pre-owned, open-box, or closeout furniture, you aren't just saving money—you're saving resources."
Reducing Furniture in Landfills
In the United States, furniture disposal accounts for a significant portion of waste in landfills. According to the EPA, furniture makes up about 9-10% of the total municipal solid waste stream. In 2018 alone, approximately 9.8 million tons of furniture were discarded.
Bulky items like couches, chairs, and mattresses are notoriously difficult to recycle. By purchasing used furniture, you help mitigate this waste, keeping valuable resources in use and out of the landfill.
Open-Box Responsibility
When products are returned or overstocked, they often end up discarded despite being in perfect condition. Purchasing open-box goods extends the life of these items, reduces manufacturing demand, and lowers carbon emissions associated with new production.
Eco-Friendly Closeouts
Buying closeout items ensures that unsold, brand-new pieces aren’t destroyed when new lines are introduced. It’s a simple choice that minimizes landfill impact and supports a more sustainable, circular retail cycle.
