Resources for Recycling

June 12, 2008
This morning's Wall Street Journal had a small article posted by Nancy Matsumoto giving some resources for folks who want torecycle unused building or renovation materials.
I quote from her article: "There has been a growing interest in the "Freecycling" process: repurposing potential landfill material by putting it in the hands of needy individuals or organizations.The nonprofit www.freecycle.org is the largest of a number of sites dedicated to connecting donors and recipients. The site uses Yahoo! Groups to link you to members in your community, with whom you can arrange personal drop-offs or pick-ups. Habitat for Humanity (www.habitat.org/env/restore.aspx) will connect you to local brick-and-mortar "ReStore" where you can donate leftover building materials or buy them for a fraction of their retail cost....For a list of reuse organizations nationwide, check www.reDo.org and click on "Find a Reuse Center." ....
Not having been in the need of ridding myself of building materials, I have not checked out these sites. Hopefully they prove useful to you if you have a need. Recycling is such a benefit to all of us.
