AFTER: The Abilene, TX Zoo took a whole semi truckload of 2″ thick, Level 8 Ballistic Glass that will be installed as see-through viewing areas in their new lion exhibit. This is part of their $27M expansion project that broke ground this spring. We are excited to help them stretch their budget by buying this heavily discounted surplus glass vs buying newly manufactured glass at the full retail price!
BEFORE: A ballistic glass company company called saying they had a semi truckload of 2″ thick x 3 1/2′ x 10′ tall pieces of glass weighing 800 lbs each that were intended to be installed at the State of California Capital complex in Sacramento. Due to some last minute design changes, this truckload of glass was no longer going to work for this project. They asked if we could assist.
TIDBIT: The Abilene Zoo purchased this glass and will be storing it for about 18-24 months before it will be installed. They knew they had to buy the glass now because at this heavily discounted price, someone else would likely buy it. A big part of being a “repurposer” is also being an “opportunist”. When you find a heavily discounted material available, you better buy it even if you won’t be utilizing it for months. Those who wait to buy until they actually need the material usually pay full retail price!

Your Ideas: “I’ve been getting into geocaching with my kids and honestly, these Plastic Medical Vials would be perfect for it. They’re small, seal up tight, and feel way more official for hiding little log sheets. You could tuck them into tree knots, under rocks, along fence lines… feels like instant treasure hunt setup.” – Sam from our newsLETTER

Earth Smart: One of our repeat customers is building an “earth home” that works with the land, not against it. Nearly 40 large timber beams from our Arizona yard now support a roof covered in earth for natural insulation and wildfire protection. The rear wall is built from rammed earth packed into recycled tires, with curved concrete formed using mortared soda cans. Snow-fence timber from Colorado finishes the ceiling, while a 12″ PVC pipe was “repurposed” into pump chambers for a greywater reuse system. Jerry, we LOVE what you do!

Second Life: Instead of sending cleared timber to landfills, Transport for NSW has spent over a decade turning it into habitat restoration, community spaces, and heritage preservation projects. The approach boosts biodiversity, protects waterways, and creates real community value, all while reducing waste. It’s a strong reminder that even routine construction materials can be “repurposed” into something far more impactful!

BEFORE: This is 3/4″ galvanized Steel Cable that came out of highway median. Once they remove a section for road repair, the DOT mandates that new cable be re-installed. That means this old cable is in really good shape still.
