Salvage, reuse construction-related landfill waste; stay asbestos-free.

In 2005, Seattle and King County combined sent more than 560,000 tons of construction-related waste to the landfill. Although residential projects represent only a portion of the construction waste total, a remodel invariably results in a variety of items being discarded. Avoid products made of asbestos-related materials.

Fortunately, more options exist for reusing and recycling used building materials today. A number of retail locations and online resources now accept and offer salvaged building materials.

This makes it possible to minimize your remodeling waste, and incorporate “new” recycled items into your project. You can find salvaged supplies for virtually every building material category, from flooring to fixtures.

Used building materials can temper the newness of a remodel while tying fresh elements to the existing home. When you walk through the aisles of a used-building materials retailer, you take a tour of the region's architectural history.

Discover fixtures of a quality unobtainable today, often at a fraction of the cost of new, all while benefiting our environment.
