LumberStash

We save lumber from the landfill out of respect for the forest. Every day, useful lumber is tossed in construction and renovation dumpsters.

There’s a ridiculous amount of opportunity for this in every city in the USA, we are based in Minneapolis www.LumberStash.com Then it waits to be trucked to the landfill. The contractors don't have time or space to deal with it. There are also many piles of leftover lumber taking up space in basements and garages. Meanwhile, unknowingly, people who need the same type of lumber drive past it to pur

chase new lumber at the big box stores. This is a big problem and a huge side gig opportunity.

LumberStash is a growing network of (backyard/garage) salvaged lumber stores that are run by good people. Most of the inventory would be in the landfill if we didn't save it. Using existing space in our yard / garage and basic tools we have almost no overheard costs. This allows us to sell salvaged lumber (as a side gig) at a very good price while earning a nice wage.

We also make products. The growing list of wooden products are made by the same network of people. These products are made from the same locally salvaged lumber that we sell. We aim to make these products superior to similar priced options that are made from new lumber and typically shipped across the ocean

Instead of putting ALL the resources in AI, they should just focus on making dogs live longer.

Cold called a developer who let us into one of their properties in Edina. It’s going to be demolished. Some salvage was organized and done by the sellers. Still a lot of good material we’re working on giving away/salvaging.

Thanks to for inviting us to salvage before their redevelopment project. Thanks to for following our journey from the very beginning and being the type of mom that sources reclaimed Doug Fir for the senior craft project.

We’re happy to have Sam on the team.. will be getting him an official LumberStash email ASAP and you’ll be seeing posts from him on the website.
