Reduce Reuse Recycle +

We hear this slogan frequently but do we know how to actually do this? Let’s focus on the 2nd word.

re·use

verb

  1. use again or more than once.

noun

  • the action of using something again.

This is something we can do on a construction job whether it is new construction or a renovation. It just takes planning and creative thought. What on this project is worth re-using? What can be successfully re-used? What can I find elsewhere that can be used on this project?

In Northern Colorado and the surrounding area, we are fortunate to have many re-use stores that offer everything from used bricks to doors to tools. Here are a few reuse stores that use.
