Cape Fear River, NC

Waste, made worth keeping.

Naked Landfills turns single-use plastic and reclaimed materials into things you'll actually want to hold onto — incense holders, bags, and everyday objects with a second life.

Read our story

Every piece starts as something someone else threw away.

What we do & why

Waste isn't disposable. It's raw material.

I've always been drawn to art — vibrant, expressive, one-of-a-kind creations — and to the quiet beauty of nature. It felt only natural that I found my way to upcycling. Over time, I've evolved into someone who doesn't see waste as disposable, but as full of possibility.

That belief is the whole business: single-use plastic, driftwood, and scrap metal get rescued and rebuilt by hand into the products in the shop below. Through hands-on workshops and everyday products, Naked Landfills is a small, practical movement rooted in purpose, creativity, and collective impact — protecting the Cape Fear River, and everywhere else, one reclaimed piece at a time.
