The ReUse People reduces the solid waste stream and changes the way the built environment is renewed by salvaging building materials and distributing them for reuse.
Notice Regarding the Current COVID-19 Pandemic
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, we have reduced our on-site staff, but remain open during our normal business hours of Monday through Saturday, 9:00am - 6:00pm until further notice. We are taking appropriate social distancing and recommended hygiene practices, and following CDC and local government recommendations. We have new materials arriving regularly, and we remain committed to making our used materials available to the public at greatly reduced prices.
Since 1993:
•TRP has deconstructed over 4,000 houses and other buildings to salvage reusable materials.
•TRP has diverted over 400,000 tons of reusable materials from landfills.
•TRP has trained over 500 unemployed, underemployed and disadvantaged workers.
•TRP has trained over 71 contractors, who in turn create needed construction jobs.
Since 1993, architects, contractors, building owners, federal, state and local governments have relied on TRP to keep reusable and recyclable building materials out of overburdened landfills. By de-constructing (instead of demolishing) a building, TRP is able to salvage up to 80 percent of the materials and channel them back into the marketplace through donations and sales at its network of retail outlets.
TRP offers the following green services and products:
Building materials donation and deconstruction • Building materials salvage • Building materials distribution • Great deals on reclaimed building materials and lumber • Project management • Training • Consulting services • Reuse and recycling plans
