 Build It Green! NYC, is New York City's only non-profit retail outlet for salvaged and surplus building materials. Our reuse centers have everything from panel doors to high end refrigerators, window shutters to reclaimed lumber, kitchen cabinet sets to salvaged flooring. Our mission is to keep these materials out of the landfill, while offering deep discounts on their resale. We are working towards reducing the amount of unnecessary construction and demolition (C&D) waste clogging our landfills, which contributes to pollution, GHG emissions, climate change and global warming.

Founded in late 2004, our Astoria warehouse opened in February of 2005. Our second reuse center opened in Gowanus, Brooklyn in November 2011. Both reuse centers are open 7 days a week. In addition to our two reuse centers, we also support local environmental initiatives, such as BIG!Compost in Western Queens. We are sponsored by Community Environmental Center (CEC) www.cecenter.org.
