ReNew Building Project
Please watch our website for drawings and plans for a new warehouse facility to the north of the existing store.  Construction is scheduled to begin in August 2008.  Secure on-line donations for this project can be made through GuideStar.

ReNew Salvage is a non-profit building materials reuse store and deconstruction services provider.
Our goal is to reduce the amount of construction waste, project surplus items, and usable items that end up in the landfill or disposed of improperly.
 
   

 Our Mission  
 

ReNew's mission is to contribute to and encourage the preservation and renewal of the Earth's natural resources and to support low-income families to build, remodel and repair their homes.  To accomplish our mission, we:

 

Operate a recycled and "green" building materials store,
Provide deconstruction services;
Educate the general public, home owners, and builders about reuse alternatives;
Provide job skills training opportunities for individuals;
Support nonprofit groups who share our mission.

 

 

 

Donations
 

We welcome your tax-deductible contributions of new or used building products.  Please call us to arrange a pick-up or a time to bring your items to the store.  We do have to be selective with respect to item condition, as well as how many we already have on hand.  Please see our materials donation guidelines.  As usual, please call first with a description of the items you wish to donate.  Financial contributions towards our building project can be made through GuideStar.



Deconstruction
 

Construction and demolition waste make up 20% of Vermont's solid waste stream.  Decon-struction is an ecologically sound alternative to demolition, often removing 80% of material from the waste stream; much of  ReNew's used lumber comes from homes or outbuildings slated for renovation or demolition.  ReNew can give you an estimate on the cost of system-atically dismantling your building or removing selected items before demolition or remodeling.  We may elect to do a one-day strip of easy-to-remove items at no charge prior to your scheduled demolition date.


 

Volunteers
 

The community and ReNew benefit from volunteers' time and effort. From sign making and stocking shelves to picking up items and computer work, there is bound to be a volunteer project for you. We accept community service volunteers for some jobs.  Please contact us if you would like to be of service in this way.
