North Country Furniture, Appliances, and Architectural Salvage Reuse & Donation Ideas
Key Takeaway: When passing along items, be sure they are in usable condition – if you wouldn’t use it, don’t assume someone else will. If it’s broken, smelly, overly stained, etc., it won’t be a good candidate for donation.

DECONSTRUCTION:
Deconstruction is a process that involves carefully taking apart a building to reclaim usable items. You can donate or reuse anything from furniture, cabinets, doors, windows, flooring, etc. For more information, please visit the Center for EcoTechnology (www.cetonline.org/the-weight-and-impact-of-reuse-building-materials/) and RecyclingWorks MA (recyclingworksma.com/construction-demolition-materials-guidance/).
