Feeling like a DIY project this spring?

Build It Green! NYC, a non-profit retail outlet for salvaged and surplus building materials, is a great local resource, especially with spring cleaning and moving season just around the corner!  Their warehouse has everything from panel doors to file cabinets and other used furniture.  In addition to providing many materials at half-price, Build It Green! NYC offers deconstruction services to help keep building materials out of landfills.

All proceeds from Build It Green!  NYC help to support Community Environmental Center initiatives throughout NYC.  Check out their locations in Astoria, Queens and Gowanus, Brooklyn.
