The trifecta of the green movement is Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. But how does this apply to the home renovation?

One company, Green Demolitions, is navigating a previously untapped market.

Green Demolitions works with professional, insured contractors who carefully remove and transport donated kitchen cabinets, countertops, appliances, fixtures and building materials.

Green Demolitions establishes a tax deduction for the donor, by reselling the items, and providing the donor with the resale amount.

Buyers save 50- 75% off their ‘new’ kitchens. Most importantly perfectly good cabinets, appliances, counter tops, sinks, etc do not end up cluttering a landfill.

All the proceeds that Green Demolitions makes go to Recovery Unlimited, a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to All Addicts Anonymous (AAA) for all addicts and all addictions including alcohol, drugs, tobacco, food, depression, anxiety and anger. Owner Steve Feldman set up this non profit charitable organization to help a program that had helped him in his youth.

Recycling Luxury for Recovery… sounds like a deal in which everybody wins.
