I was snooping around Hellgate CSA’s website and found their posting on local organization, Build It Green. If you’re looking to use recycled materials on a building project, grab a new couch, or a place to donate materials, check it out (more information and address after the drop). They also have an electronics/battery recycling center for the public.

From their website:

Build It Green! NYC, is New York City’s only non-profit retail outlet for salvaged and surplus building materials; sponsored by the Community Environmental Center (CEC) www.cecenter.org. Founded in late 2004, our warehouse opened in February 2005.

Salvage & Surplus:
Build It Green! NYC sells salvaged and surplus building materials at the warehouse — great products at half or below their new price. And you help keep perfectly useful material out of the landfill!

A Better NYC:
All proceeds help support CEC’s environmental education programs at Solar 1.

We have over 75 tons of materials on sale:

• doors
• flooring
• sinks and toilets
• lighting
• windows
• trim
• cabinets
• metal studs

And much, much more…

Green Products: Build It Green! will be expanding its stock of building materials to include environmentally friendly and non-toxic materials.
