Don't Dump--Donate!

As you begin a one-room or whole-house renovation, the thought of disposing of the excess of old furniture and building materials can be daunting. Yet there are options for smart disposal, and as a bonus, they're environmentally friendly! As seen in the latest issue of Domino magazine, The ReStore offers services like pickups and salvage, and also stocks secondhand building supplies and housewares in order to decrease landfill waste.

   

And for safe removal with a tax bonus, schedule a pickup with Green Demolitions, which establishes tax deductions for donors. You can also donate items and building materials locally and benefit future construction projects.
