The Repurpose Project

This place is sort of a “no kill” thrift store. If you enjoy a good treasure hunt, it might be for you. Great place for art project supplies and building materials: sinks, lumber, windows, cabinet hardware, wood furniture pieces, vintage light fixture globes, etc. I found junk vinyl records for 25 cents which are perfect for a craft project I’m working on. You won’t find much in the way of valuable collectibles, so resellers should probably pass this one by. They did have a big box of laserdiscs for $5 each though.

This place is definitely not what I was expecting but turned out to be the most amazing little spot! We were so impressed by how organized it was right down to the pencils & bottle caps. The time & effort the staff has put in to making it the most creative little place. We will definitely be back!

This place is the best! The store takes donations of all kinds, even junk, to be repurposed. There are so many good finds here if you look deep enough. You may find something you needed for incredibly cheaper than normal price that would have otherwise ended up in the trash! I have been here many times already and I definitely will keep going - it's fun just to look at everything! It has that local Gainesville charm.

What a great experience! You definitely want to take your imagination when you visit! It can be a little confusing to navigate and possibly overwhelming but there is some organization to the lovely madness! Just ask someone for assistance and you are sure to have a wonderful human interaction!! Stop by if you’re suffering from writers block or stuck in your creative process or if you know exactly what you’re looking for!! It is rare to come across such a gem of peculiarities and eccentricity! Looking forward to another visit!

I absolutely adore this place!!! I always find tons of items to use in art projects. The best prices I have ever found on arts and crafts supplies.

This place has everything. Paper, fabric, tools, electronics supplies, lumber, stuff to remodel a house....and everything in between.

I do hope that they get the air conditioning fixed though! It was HOT in there!

This place is amazing especially for teachers and artsy people! Prices are really affordable! And there’s a lot of things you don’t find in regular thrift stores!

Today was my first time exploring this place and I really liked it a lot,I found lots of DVD movies for my mom and an old Bicycle that I can rebuild for myself at a very reasonable price and they had absolutely EVERYTHING I could imagine and I saw a very small part of their inventory. They seemed like very nice people so that made it even better,I'm sure I'll be back very soon!

Thanks to the repurposed project my husband Anthony Kwan made amazing Halloween Displays!

Friendly staff, great finds, lots of fun hunting for materials of any kind, great prices too. Love this place.

I stopped in with my wife. Glad we did. Found a relic from my five year old self. An incomplete set if World History Encyclopedia's. A buck a book, well worth the price of admission. If you live in Gainesville you need to stop in. If you are visiting, make time to stop in.

Very cool place, affordable and good for the environment!

Great place to find wonderful surprises, excellent prices and the staff is extremely friendly 😁

I gave a 5 star bc they have a great mission of saving the earth, the staff is friendly and the store is pretty well organized BUT some of the prices are too much for used stuff. $8 for a 12x12 scrapbook paper pack is too much, I can go to hobby lobby and find them cheaper on sale and clearance for a few dollars cheaper and get the whole pad! Also scrap ribbon for $3 omg! Or maybe I'm just too cheap to pay them prices. 🤷 besides that it's a great store

Best used junk store EVER. Chances are if they don't have it, you probably never really needed it, LOL. You can't beat the prices. Incredible concept to reuse items instead of throwing away. Great place to let your creative side go wild or just find that perfect piece to reuse.

Unimaginable collection of stuff looking for a new home. If they don't have it you can probably do without it. And inexpensive.

I loved it have to keep going I'm hooked now & can spend hours making discoveries. Great negotiable prices. Got a flat screen smart TV built in DVD player & remote $20 works great. Thank you

Im from out of town and me and my buddy came to Gainsville on a wish to find a specific thing...an ac unit. We were on a real tight budget due to a contractor stealing supplies from the job. We were told outrageous prices by every place we stopped. We went out on a limb and stopped here. They had a couple ac units and the owner was polite and fair on the prices. Even got to haggle with the price. What an amazing place this is. From just the visual aspect to the friendly and helpful staff it was a great experience. I will be back

Love this place! Go in with a little imagination and see what you can create! The staff person who helped today was amazing! They were kind, helpful and seemed excited about our latest gardening project.

LOVE this store. My daughter and I made a trip in from Ocala and we weren't disappointed. There were treasures around every corner - its the kind of store that you'll never know what you'll find and the prices were reasonable. Will definitely make a trip again to visit.

Really great place. I'm a big vintage electronics and machines guy and a lot of what they have is broken but if you pick through enough you can find good working stuff. On top of that, the whole point is for finding parts and scrap to REPURPOSE. Lots of other useful stuff like scraps of building materials, ancient bolts of cloth, bits of wood and metal and so on. Definitely recommend if you are the industrious/DIY type.
