Plant pots on hold
As of Monday, October 16, the HodgePodge Lodge will no longer be accepting plant pots for donation.
We will accept them for donation again in the spring.
Are you crafty, love to upcycle or tinker? Maybe you have some items around the house that still have some life in them but they aren't suitable for recycling or charity. The HodgePodge Lodge is for you!
The new HodgePodge Lodge is now open!
The new bigger and better HodgePodge Lodge is now open at the Broadview Enviroservice Station. The new building is located at the same location as the old building, but it is now heated and open year-round.

Your local reuse station
To decrease material going to landfill and empower residents to live an environmentally conscientious, creative and community minded lifestyle, the HodgePodge Lodge collects a mishmash of items that can be reused or repurposed. These items are not easily recycled through traditional methods of collection, and aren't accepted for reuse elsewhere.
Due to the size of the building, amount of great stuff we have on the shelves and the busy nature of the site we have limitations on what we can accept. Staff and volunteers have the ability to decline an item based on the capacity of the Lodge.
To make the HodgePodge Lodge a success, please don't dump garbage or leave broken items.
- Do not leave items outside the lodge
- No blinds or window coverings
- No ceiling fans
- No mirrors or large glass pieces
- No broken items that no longer work
- Please put a note on the item if it plugs in that it is still working

To keep track of how much material we're diverting from the landfill you'll be asked to weigh any material you drop off or take away.
Thank you for donating! If you are unsure whether an item can be donated check out the Waste Wizard for proper disposal options.
