Mountain Equipment Recyclers, Inc. is a retail consignment store of high-quality outdoor equipment located in Colorado Springs, CO. Gear includes camping, backpacking, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, cycling, running, climbing, fly fishing, canoes/kayaks, and any other outdoor activity associated with this beautiful state. Mountain Equipment Recyclers, Inc. has multiple goals. • Offer high-quality gear at extremely reasonable prices. • Assist local military veterans and their families. • Preserve the environment. • Contribute to ‘buy local’ ideas. The Great Recession has affected many. The cost of new high-quality outdoor gear is sometimes absurd. Most of the items we purchase are manufactured overseas, using cheap labor, only to be shipped from thousands of miles away. The gear is then trucked to a local corporate-owned retailer who charges ridiculous prices! This process is damaging to the environment AND our wallets! Now that the gear is purchased, why not sell it in a local manner, from neighbor to neighbor? It can be passed forward, after our great experiences, for others to enjoy.
