CITY'S REUSE RECYCLING WAREHOUSE NOW OPEN

The City of Houston's newest recycling opportunity, The Building Materials Reuse Warehouse, opened on April 29, 2009. Contractors can drop off excess materials at the Reuse Warehouse which benefits them in three ways: 1) eliminates landfill fees, 2) donations are tax deductible, and 3) provides LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification points. Citizens can also make donations. Donated materials are available for reuse by any non-profit organization. The formal grand opening is scheduled for June 2009.

To make a donation of materials call Project Manager Jonathan Lohn at 281-814-3324 or jonathan.lohn@cityofhouston.net. Items accepted include cabinets, fans, sinks, showers, windows, concrete blocks, pavers, copper, doors, windows, flooring material, glass and gutters.
