Our Customers: “Appreciate getting all the used Polyiso Insulation from you. It will work great under the concrete slab we’re getting ready to pour. Who cares if the insulation with some knicks and dings. Once it is buried underneath the concrete no one will ever know or care.” – Greg in Wisconsin
SAVINGS: “And, my concrete pouring hack saved me $3,200 over buying new insulation!” – Greg

Our Customers: A Georgia Habitat for Humanity ReStore location got 32 of our Steel Stackable Racks. They’re going to merchandize rolls of carpeting on them for re-sale. Donald, we appreciate your business.
TIDBIT: It probably comes as no surprise that organizations that do business in the used economy, like Habitat for Humanity ReStores, also like to purchase used materials and equipment whenever possible for their own operations. I guess we all like to practice what we preach!

AFTER: “We build workforce and low income housing and generally put in a playground. We’re tired of dealing with cleaning up and replacing mulch so we’re going to start using used turf. But you have to have some protection so the kids bounce when they fall. So we’ll be putting your used Turf Pad Underlayment under the playgrounds. You are currently the only place I can find that has the used padding.” – Lance in Oklahoma
BEFORE: We got in a bunch of used Turf Pad Underlayment from a football field that was being torn down. This Turf Pad is selling briskly. Don’t miss out!!
Q: Do you have used materials that could get a 2nd Life? If “yes”, Email Us Details!

SPEAKING: “Damon Carson delivered an inspiring guest lecture in my course Circular Economy: Science and Business of Construction at the Cornell University Department of Architecture, titled ‘Repurposing: A New Frontier in Landfill Diversion’. His presentation revealed unexpected opportunities for ‘repurposing’ across diverse material streams. I was particularly struck by examples such as the reuse of Bullet-Resistant Leaded Glass at the Abilene Zoo and the transformation of discarded Fiberglass Conduits into yacht sailing masts—innovations that demonstrate how creative thinking can unlock entirely new life cycles for materials we typically consider waste.” – Felix Heisel
Q: Like Professor Heisel, do you have an event or continuing education course where a presentation on “repurposing” would be of value to attendees? If “yes”, Email Us for Details.

The Faces of RPM: Behind every load, every deal, and every “repurpose” is a team of blue-collar, hardworking people who built repurposedMATERIALS the only way they know how—through grit, resourcefulness, and a willingness to roll up their sleeves. This isn’t a company built in a boardroom, it’s one built in warehouses, yards, and job sites across the country. Leading that charge from the very beginning is our founder, Damon Carson, whose story starts much like the company itself—grounded, hardworking, and built to last.
Bio: Damon Carson and his wife, Traci, first crossed paths in Vail, Colorado—where their story began and quickly turned into a lifelong partnership. They later settled along Colorado’s Front Range, raising their three kids while building both a family and a future rooted in hard work and shared values. Now empty nesters, Damon and Traci stay active in their local church and dedicate time to mission work around the world. When they’re not giving back, you’ll likely find them cheering on their favorite sports teams or planning their next global adventure—most notably, a trip to Antarctica next year to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary and to step foot on the last remaining continent that they haven’t visited.

The Realities: For all those companies that want to keep stuff out of the landfill, there are some that still aren’t willing to spend $1 extra to keep stuff out of the dump. “The job is prevailing wage, so it is not cost effective for us to palletize and load the material. So, we’ll just be putting them in the dumpster.” – Nathan
