Save some cash...
Getting your home renovated? Going to be throwing out half your home?! You can donate items including appliances, windows and counter tops and may be eligible for tax deductions! Not too shabby getting cash for trash.
The Boston Building Materials Co-op is a non-profit who's purpose "is to provide high quality materials at a reasonable cost and to teach people how to maintain and improve their homes". They do this by collecting your donated construction materials. Check out the BBMC here.
Interested in donating your materials or purchasing recycled ones? Check out the BBMC's Materials Resource Center here. The BMRC handles all donating and sales. There are some great finds and even better prices, plus you can feel good making a green choice by giving new life to old materials.

Save your home...
Be sustainable by extending the life of your home. Homes deteriorate over the years. Materials naturally weaken and can cause major pain-in-the-neck issues. Do not be afraid of home repair! And do not be ashamed you don't know the first thing about home repair. Most people don't! Villandry Contracting is glad you don't. :)
But knowledge is power and the BBMC also offers, get this!, affordable and approachable workshops (mostly on weekends), teaching you handyman basics. Intro to Power Tools, Pest Prevention, Tiling and Kitchen Design are just a few offered.
Gain some homeowner bragging rights and become a DIY guru by checking out their Fall Workshop Schedule!
