Did you know?

Construction produces 2.2 billion tons of landfill waste, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, groundwater contamination, and other negative impacts on families and communities. Up to a quarter of all waste in the United States is produced by Construction & Demolition (C&D), and over 75% of construction waste still holds value and can be repurposed or recycled. An average of 30% of materials delivered to a construction site can end up as waste. Homeowners who are building or remodeling homes can divert useable materials from landfill by donating them to Recover International. Manufacturers and suppliers can reduce their carbon footprint by donating materials that are discontinued, slow-moving, or obsolete but still have complete functional use, rather than paying to dispose of it, or having it compete against your mainstream products in the marketplace. In addition to diverting materials from landfills, we will use your donated materials to help other organizations as well as contractors and distributors who service areas affected by natural disasters and economic challenges - all while providing a larger tax benefit than you might have gotten by selling material as scrap or bearing the costs of disposal.
