What Is A Building Material Reuse Center?

A Building Material Reuse Center sells or otherwise provides salvaged and/or reusable building materials such as doors, windows, cabinets, plumbing fixtures, lumber, millwork, metals, flooring, hardware, and more. Reuse centers around the country allow hundreds of thousands of tons of reusable construction materials to be kept out of our alleys, off the streets, and ultimately out of landfills.
