Cultivating a zero-waste culture starts with reusing, repurposing, reimagining and recycling household items. Upcycling is easy at the Last Chance Mercantile reuse store, where community members can donate and pick up low-cost clothing, housewares, furniture, books, building materials, landscaping products and other treasures.
Located at ReGen Monterey’s facility, Last Chance Mercantile is a bargain shoppers’ favorite that’s been repeatedly voted “Best Eco-Friendly Business” by Monterey County Weekly readers. The nonprofit Veterans Transition Center of California operates the reuse store, providing opportunities and support for veterans moving from crises to self-sufficiency. Your donations and store proceeds help homeless local veterans with services and housing.

Single-family households and some multi-family residents are eligible for one or more free curbside bulky item collections per year, including furniture, mattresses, e-waste, appliances and other household items. Please confirm details with your curbside service provider.
