Mike Goffman was greatly inspired by his parents, who survived the Great Depression. After watching them live so resourcefully, Mike set off on a journey to make a positive impact on the world through recycling.

Mike often describes his fondest childhood memories as dumpster diving with his best friend, finding things to fix up and resell for a profit. Every garbage day, they’d follow an established routine of searching for hidden treasures. He and his best friend of 35 years are still at it today with Recyclean Inc. Mike’s passion for recycling evolved from a hobby into a vision: a vision to change the world.
Mike has been in the construction business for over 30 years and the demolition deconstruction industry for over 20 years. He has a deep love for re-purposing old building materials. In his own words, “You have to be a little crazy to do what we do. We don’t look at old buildings as waste, but as opportunities for the future!” His continued love of recycling has lead Mike to chase a bigger vision: “to educate the world about thinking past the dumpster!”
Mike and Recyclean Inc., continue to serve as pioneers in the deconstruction industry. Mike has even custom-built the world’s first Recyclean app, Dandelion!
