History

Remoov was launched by Luis Perez [5] [6] in San Francisco in 2016. [7] [8] It later opened a branch in Phoenix in 2019. [9] [10]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Remoov started focusing more on clearing vacated offices in the Bay Area. [11] The company set up a branch in the Miami area [12] [13] [14] of Florida in 2022. [15] [16] [17]

Remoov also started collaborating with Welcome.US in 2022 to relay donated goods to Afghans and Ukrainians resettling in the United States. [18]

Overview

Remoov redistributes second-hand household and office items for reselling, donating, or recycling. Customers receive a share of proceeds for items that are sold, while unsellable items are donated or diverted from landfill through recycling partners. The company operates in the San Francisco Bay Area [19] [20] Los Angeles, and Phoenix. [21] [22] [23]

Reperch, previously known as the Local Flea, is Remoov's marketplace and showroom for second-hand furniture and home goods. It was acquired by Remoov in 2023, although Reperch was originally founded by Paul Kennedy. Kennedy is currently an advisor for Reperch. [24] [23] Reperch currently operates showrooms tied to Remoov's pickup markets, including locations in San Francisco and Phoenix. [25]

Operations

Remoov collects mixed lots of items from homes and offices after people submit photographs for estimates. It resells consigned items, donates others with receipts to charities, and sends remaining items to recycling or decommissioning facilities. Sales occur via Remoov's showrooms and other resale channels. [21] [22]

Remoov mainly focuses on the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles in California [26] [27] and Phoenix, Arizona. The company previously operated in Miami–Dade County, Florida starting in 2022, but halted operations in 2023. [28] [29]
