Finally got over to Film Biz Recycling in Long Island City. It was sooooo worth the trip!
Ok, here’s the rundown. Eva Radke founded the business a couple of years ago when she got pissed off about all the film props being thrown into dumpsters. The non profit company takes donations from production sets and resells or rents the items. The 2nd floor warehouse is chock full of tschotskes, small furniture and crazy cool stuff such as reproduction 1970′s toilet paper and fake street signs.
I came back with half a van full of goodies that included a child’s table and chair set, coffee table, wicker hamper and tons of smalls.
If you need to furnish your house, decorate it or get linens and kitchen supplies, this is the place to go!

Pretty decent. Much, much better than an antique shop or even a flea market. Not as good as garage sales outside of the city, where I get most of my stuff. The prices are definitely awesome if you’re not reselling and she’s reasonable if you are doing wholesale.

No way! I would die and go to heaven!
I will mention this to every production person that I know. There is SO much stuff that just gets tossed.
