There is now NO reason to throw away wood!


There are so many wonderful people out there fighting hard to get reuse to the top of thousands of municipalities' agenda. There are programs getting powerful support every single day across this country to find a place for wonderful perfectly good building parts that used to be bulldozed and plowed back into the earth in the interest of TIME and MONEY! There actually can be very positive things that come out of economic downturns and recessions.

Some cities, counties and even states are now requiring a well thought out plan for the responsible deconstruction of our nation's former wasteful view of any structure that is no longer "needed" for one reason or another. Many companies are shifting their main objective to a very aggressive environmentally responsible reuse. There is a 90+% potential for the recycling of a structure's refuse! Jobs can be created to the tune of 250,000 while actually taking this process from a waste causing landfill clogging process to a cash creating process!
