BEFORE: These Precast Concrete Panels were a part of the Army Corp of Engineers flood remediation project. The project had called for two big retaining walls but only one was erected.
AFTER: “I picked up a few of your Precast Concrete Panels to build a boat ramp at our lake house. They were the perfect solution—heavy-duty, easy to set in place, and now we can launch right from our own shoreline.” – Patrick in Ohio

Google Review: “Found this Steel Grating to cover the concrete gutters in front of my shop. Strong enough to walk on, but not drive, so I boxed in the slats and added support straps from the cutoffs. Little elbow grease and spray paint, I got exactly what I needed—at a quarter of the cost of pre-made grates. Very satisfied and will definitely check RepurposedMaterials for future projects!” – Rob
If you’ve had a great experience too, we’d love to hear about it!

Our Customers: A customer stopped by today and picked up an 18-piece crate of Annealed Glass. He shared that he’ll be using it to build ‘ballistic’ windows—laminating and layering each pane to reach the desired thickness and strength. A perfect example of M.A.T. – Modify, Adapt, Transform in action. George, we appreciate your business!

INBOX: “Found a unique ‘repurpose’ agency in New York! The Bra Recycling Agency takes old bras, diverts them from the landfills, separates the metal from underwires and shreds the material. The metal is recycled and the money goes towards cancer research. The shredded bra material is remade into carpet padding! SHOUT OUT! I’ll be sending a box in myself.” – Stephanie M.

Reader: “Your company doing business with SpaceX is reason enough to not do business with your firm. I thought your business model was a sound one. Doing business with known criminals and fraudsters detracts.” – Daniel
RPM: “Daniel, Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. We understand that not every partnership will align with everyone’s values, and we respect your right to voice your concerns. That said, our core mission is simple: keep useful materials out of the landfill. No matter the customer, if their endeavor helps extend the life of these items and supports reuse over waste, we see that as a win for the environment. We work with a wide range of individuals, small businesses, nonprofits, and large organizations — all united by one common goal: giving surplus materials a second life. While opinions will vary about the people or companies we serve, our focus remains on reducing waste and supporting sustainability wherever we can.”
Reader: “Thank you for your kind response. I certainly do not wish to enter into any kind of debate. But I do want to thank you for your response. I believe in your mission, and what is good for the environment is good for all of us. I have shared your website with several vendors with whom I have had relationships who may be able to utilize your services, and will continue to do so. If the ‘repurposing’ and recycling of materials avoids the landfill, I’m all for it. If ‘repurposing’ one’s discards into another’s treasures, I’m all for it. At some point, the integrity and moral compass must exclude those companies and individuals whose actions cause more suffering. Or whose actions may be token efforts at becoming good citizens of the planet while continuing to leech off government subsidies and to contribute to the global climate emergency. Please understand our opinions may differ, and that is perfectly okay as well. I think what your company is doing with ‘repurposing’ and recycling/upcycling is very admirable. I thank you for allowing me to share my concerns, and I am gladdened that you responded.” – Daniel
