Asheville Area Habitat's New Deconstruction Division Takes Recycling to a New Level

The Deconstruction team of Habitat staff and volunteers work with builders, developers and homeowners to salvage reusable building materials from structures prior to demolition or remodeling.  Building materials and supplies like flooring, windows and doors, cabinetry and appliances that are removed from a building are then sold to the general public in the Habitat Home Store at 30 Meadow Road.

Benefits of the new program to our community include:
•The diversion of usable building materials from our landfill
•Providing a source of affordable building materials for reuse in our community
•Creation of new living-wage jobs in Buncombe County
•Support for Habitat for Humanity’s mission to eliminate substandard housing
•Salvaged material is a tax deductible donation to Habitat for Humanity

If you have a building that is slated for demolition or you're embarking on a remodeling project, large or small, please contact the Deconstruction team at Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity to find out if your project can help to build Habitat homes in Buncombe County through the salvage of reusable materials.
