PROGRAM

Our business started over 15 years ago in a garage and a beat-up van, peddling recycled coveralls. We never meant to be a socially-conscious company, but a common-sense business approach through the years lead us to be pretty responsible - to people, the environment, and especially our customers. BareBones diverts items from our dumps by offering recycled rags, coveralls and mats, mostly through our wholesale division. We recruit welfare-to-work staff, and squeeze out as much as possible in our profits to offer health care and other benefits. BareBones has been certified by Sacramento County as a Sustainable Business. That means we practice conservation measures, just by being responsible to our environment. Even our staff has adopted a street near us to clean up trash several times a year.
