Welcome!

We partner with other nonprofit organizations.

Our Store

Rochester Greenovation helps people in Rochester keep things out of the landfill by running a second-hand store where you can donate items others can use, and where people on a budget can buy things at a very reasonable price. We have items you need for every-day living: furniture, clothes, tools, plates & glasses, pots & pans, and lots more.

Greenovation is also a treasure trove of unique finds, crafts, toys, gear, costumes, antiques, building materials, and more. Come and explore!

Upcycling

Upcycling means to take something used and change it to make something new and exciting. See our page of ideas.

Our mission: Help people in Rochester reuse things and keep them out of the landfill.

We have moved! Our new store is at 22 Flint Street. We are working on getting it open. As of March 2024, we are open for pop-up shopping Saturdays from 10-2 and by appointment during the week. We also have photos of items on-line on Facebook & Instagram that you can purchase and pick up during the week (links are at the bottom of this page).

You can shop during the week

We are very excited to introduce Greenovation 3.0 (our third store) to everyone once she's fully ready but you are welcome to come by in the meantime and see the progress and shop while we are there. Let us know if you would like to schedule a time to come: RochesterGreenovation@gmail.com.

Why aren’t we open full-time yet?

We’re waiting for a Certificate of Occupancy from the City of Rochester. We started the process in July of 2023 by submitting our plans for renovating the building. We finally had our initial inspection in February, but have not yet received a permit, which we need before we can get a Certificate of Occupancy. We’re working on upgrades that are needed before that can happen.
