Turning Scrap Lumber into Furniture for Those in Need
We reduce waste and help people.
At Scrap2Home, we collect scrap wood - wood normally sent to a dumpster and then a landfill - and use it to build furniture for people who need it but cannot afford to buy it.
We've upcycled more than 11 TONS of wood into 800 items!

Why We Do It
Each year, construction and demolition companies send an estimated 36 million tons of wood to landfills. In addition, there are thousands of people in the Cincinnati region who would benefit from free furniture.
“We hope to live in a world where waste is eliminated and landfills are no longer needed; a world where items that normally would be thrown away are reused, repurposed, or recycled.”
How We Do It
Our wooden furniture is built to last. We construct each piece to ensure strength, durability, and stability. All items are sanded before finishing with stain or paint.
