The Green Project began in 1994 as a volunteer paint recycling program after it became apparent that New Orleans needed a responsible alternative to dumping paint and polluting regional waterways. With equity in mind, our founding members sought to recycle usable paint and resell it back into the community at an affordable price. In time, this idea expanded to building materials and our salvage store was born.
This September, we are celebrating 25 years of creative reuse, recycling and protecting the natural world around us! JOIN US!
On September 24th, we're revealing all sorts of surprises and want YOU to join us! We're CELEBRATING with:
