Last Chance Mercantile
14201 Del Monte Blvd., Marina (831) 264-6900, mrwmd.org
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – we’ve learned the three R’s, but it’s easy to forget about the first two in our constant quest for new stuff. Last Chance Mercantile is the Monterey Regional Waste Management District’s solution, proving that one person’s trash is another’s treasure. They divert some 700 tons’ worth of material that would otherwise go to the landfill to the floor of this shop that merges thrift store with junk heap with treasure chest. Looking for furniture, clothes, dishes or a pink bathtub? They’ve got you covered, and you’ve got the planet covered – it’s a win-win.
