NEW! salvage resources, reduce waste, build sustainably
Every year thousands of tons of usable building materials end up in landfills due to traditional demolition practices. Our Materials Recovery Program helps contractors, project mangers, and architects take a smarter approach — recovering valuable materials, improving waste management efficiency, and supporting a circular economy for construction.

why choose material recovery?
✔ Save Money – Reduce disposal costs and potentially earn tax benefits for donated materials.
✔ Conserve Resources – Keep high-quality lumber, cabinets, doors, and fixtures in use rather than sending them to the landfill.
✔ Improve Sustainability – Support deconstruction methods that cut down on waste and carbon emissions.
✔ Strengthen the Community – Salvaged materials are resold affordably and upcycled into new products at BRING, making sustainable building more accessible for everyone.
how it works
- Identify Salvageable Materials: Before demolition begins, BRING’s team works with you to assess and identify reusable materials on-site.
- Coordinate Hauling & Recovery: We provide expert guidance on separating reusable materials from waste and convenient on-site storage trailers to keep reusable materials organized and protected during your project. Our team helps you separate salvageable materials from waste, coordinates transportation, and ensures that valuable resources are efficiently recovered for reuse.
- Support Deconstruction Methods: Our team provides hands-on technical assistance and training to integrate sustainable practices into your project, making recovery an easy and efficient part of your workflow. We can also coordinate volunteer teams to support your projects, as needed.

Salvaged materials recovered through our program don’t always get resold as is — some get a second life in our BRINGmade workshop! Our team transforms reclaimed wood, metal, and other materials into unique home décor, furniture, and one-of-a-kind gifts. When businesses support material recovery, they help to create sustainable, handcrafted products for the community.
