CP272 Green Clinic: Building a Nonprofit Business Around Deconstruction and Building Materials ReuseBuilding materials reuse centers are a local community response to the challenge of construction and demolition debris. They can also help build the local economy. These centers receive donations of salvaged building materials and resell them at deeply discounted prices; they often also provide deconstruct services an alternative to building demolition. Our United Villages, in Portland, Oregon, does exactly that, diverting 8 tons of building materials from the landfill every day and earning $3 million in revenues that create local jobs and support the community. Learn from Assistant Director Chris Bekemeier how you could do the same in your own community. See the concept in action during a site visit to Stardust Building Supplies in Phoenix.Course length: 1 Days Tuition: $ 240 Course counts toward a professional certificate: No |
