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.
