Our Mission: Encourage the reuse and recycling of good quality, useful building materials within the community by encouraging their tax deductible donation to non-profit organizations; train “hard-to-place” workers for careers in “green collar” jobs; and, educate the
community on ways individuals can live more sustainably on an affordable basis.
ReBuild is a vibrant resource working to strengthen the
environmental, economic, and social fabric of local communities. Founded by
volunteers, ReBuild opened a warehouse accepting quality used building materials from deconstruction
sites, contractors, property managers, and homeowners and recirculated these
back into the community for 50%-80% of standard retail prices for similar
new items.
ReBuild ended its pilot warehouse project on November 30, 2011. It continues its material recycling efforts by serving as an intermediary on deconstruction jobs to divert quality building products to worthy non-profit organizations while providing the donors of these materials with the needed tax deduction documentation.
Because it served as the primary recipient of deconstructed
materials from DeConstruction Services, LLC, ReBuild continues to carry the region's
largest volume of oak flooring. ReBuild also offers
hardwood flooring installation. This array
of material and services provided by ReBuild and its affiliated non-profit organizations make home repairs affordable for everyone, with the
goal of promoting reuse of salvaged and reclaimed materials. ReBuild also offers volunteer
opportunities
and workshops on all aspects of environmentally sustainable living and how
to safely and creatively work with used building materials.
ReBuild strives to promote neighborhood maintenance and revitalization efforts through its core programs (click each picture below for more detailed information).
