Tyler Garrison, the owner of the Regeneration Station, a business that sold recycled and restored items, was reportedly killed early Sunday morning. Garrison’s friends have reported on social media that he died in a motorcycle wreck in another state.

Garrison started a business called Junk Recyclers in east Asheville in 2012. He soon began cleaning up and reselling some of the stuff he was picking up through that business under the Regeneration Station moniker. Today the business operates out of a 35,000-square-foot warehouse on Simpson Street in east Asheville. The Regeneration Station is also home to about 75 other vendors who sell their own wares. A third business, Garage TRS, sells used motorcycles out of the Regeneration Station space.

In this March 2016 interview with Asheville FM interviewer Bob Hanna, Garrison talks about moving to Asheville in 2008 and starting his recycling business with $500 and a desire to keep stuff out of the local landfill.
