The Problem:Our landfills are overflowing

Annually, 34 billion tons of construction and demolition (“C&D”) waste ends up in landfills. While we may have seen an increase in household recycling, building materials are rarely reused and too often simply thrown away

Recycling is good, Reuse is better Reuse = Using material repeatedly Recycle = Using material to make new products Reuse… Reduces air & water pollution Reduces consumption of energy & natural resources Saves money Creates a reliable alternative source of goods US Environmental Protection Agency

Deconstructing one 2,500 square foot ranch style home can: Divert 25 tons of demolition waste! Save Embodied Energy spent in production of new material Supply quality, useable material to organizations & people who can benefit Create jobs and new satellite industries

Residential Deconstruction Next: Prepare and Deconstruct Choose a team DRN inventories the structure’s reusable assets Deconstruction happens Property owners receive an itemized report and final appraisal for their tax filing
