Mission: Our mission is to extend the life of quality materials, enriching our community and protecting our planet.
About: Stardust is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We operate two reuse centers for home improvement which sell gently-used, salvaged, and surplus building materials at affordable prices. Additionally, we provide deconstruction services that salvage building materials, divert waste from landfills, and support sustainability in the community.
We have full-time deconstruction crews operating five days a week, salvaging building materials for reuse from residential and commercial renovations. Our deconstruction crews leave no stone unturned, resulting in the removal of all usable building materials from a job site safely and efficiently. In doing so, these items continue to provide a useful function, rather than taking up landfill space.
Location: Mesa, AZ
