Kitchen Renovation: Build Green, Save Green

Posted by The Jill Smith Team at 2:32 PM 1 comments
If you are planning a kitchen renovation there are some great ways to save environmental and financial resources. Build-it Green! NYC offers a FREE kitchen de-construction for qualified kitchens performed by fully insured professionals. Build-it Green! NYC will deconstruct your kitchen and remove everything for free preventing building materials from being tossed in a landfill. You will also save money by not having to pay your contractor to do the work. If that wasn’t enough of an incentive, Build-it Green! NYC is a registered 501(c)(3) not-for profit organization, so every deconstruction project gets treated as a standard donation so you will also get a tax-deductible receipt!

Once your kitchen has been de-constructed, you can also construct it with materials from the Build-it Green! NYC’s salvaged and surplus building materials. They stock everything from cabinets, flooring, countertops and hardware to yes, kitchen sinks.

To see if your kitchen qualifies contact deconstruction manager Max Rubinstein at 718-777-0132 ext. 26 or max@bignyc.org. Send photos of your existing kitchen to Max at max@bignyc.org to speed the evaluation process along. Visit their website for more details at the link below.
