The ReUse People collaborate with local deconstruction outfits, many of whom they have trained, to deconstruct and salvage material- mostly from residential buildings. Call first or email images of items before you go to insure there is space and interest. Commercial and industrial item collection for items such as back up generators, high bay doors (for semi-trucks to unload), climate control mechanics, fire-rated doors, & commercial plumbing fixtures. Shop for salvaged building materials.
