To divert reusable materials from the landfill, reducing our environmental impact particularly from construction, and providing affordable options to the public.

The Problem

Every year hundreds of tons of otherwise useful materials are simply sent to the land fill. One reason for this is that there has been no mechanism to recycle these materials and make them available to those who could make use of them.

This problem of waste is especially prominent in the Yampa Valley where the construction industry is one of the largest segments of the local economy. With less than half of the housing units in our area "Owner Occupied", the frequent remodels, "scrapeoffs", and new home constructions are generating a tremendous volume of construction waste, much of it potentially useful or recycleable.

What We Do

Providing the community with a place to donate and purchase building materials, decreasing the amount of reusable materials that end up in the landfill and creating cheaper options for home owners when remodeling, thereby decreasing the tax on our environment for raw materials.

The virtue of recycling used building materials lies in diminishing the need for industry to recreate it. All of the energy that is spent in manufacturing and transporting something can be saved. The raw materials that would be drawn from the earth can be saved. The need to cover the item in the local landfill can be saved.
