Options for salvage and recycling asbestos-free materials

There are numerous outlets for salvage and recycling asbestos-free materials. Options include used building materials retailers, online exchanges, classified ads, and recycling companies. Fortunately, there are services that help you find the ones you need.

Remember to telephone companies before arriving with a load. Many reuse businesses have limited space and changing lists of materials that they will accept.

Depending on the material, you may receive a small amount of cash, in-store credit, or the material may be considered a “donation,” meaning you can get rid of it for free.

Some stores can offer a tax credit for materials. If they won’t take a material, you can still post it on online exchanges or classified ads.

Recycling operations are usually more flexible, but may charge a fee, which should always be less than the per-ton fee at the Recycling and Disposal stations. If not, call another recycling service.
