Salvage Store

Located on St. Claude and Press St., our donation-based Salvage Store carries a wide array of new and used building materials, including doors, lumber, light fixtures, cabinets and more.

Paint Recycling

Our paint recycling program diverts usable paint from the landfill and offers residents a safe way to dispose of old paint, in turn protecting local ecosystems.

Environmental Education

Our free K-12 environmental education programs, Salvage Store tours, outreach events and community workshops teach residents about recycling and creative reuse.

 
 
 

Today’s trash.
Tomorrow’s treasure.

Every year, we prevent 40,000 gallons of paint from being dumped down the drain, reclaim 2 million pounds of materials, and educate over 700 local students and residents
