ReNew Salvage is a non-profit building materials reuse store and deconstruction services provider. Our goal is to reduce the amount of construction waste, project surplus items, and usable items that end up in the landfill or disposed of improperly.
Our Mission
ReNew's mission is to contribute to and encourage the preservation and renewal of the Earth's natural resources and to support low-income families to build, remodel and repair their homes.
Construction and demolition waste make up 20% of Vermont's solid waste stream. Deconstruction is an ecologically sound alternative to demolition, often removing 80% of material from the waste stream; much of ReNew's used lumber comes from homes or outbuildings slated for renovation or demolition. ReNew can give you an estimate on the cost of system-atically dismantling your building or removing selected items before demolition or remodeling. We may elect to do a one-day strip of easy-to-remove items at no charge prior to your scheduled demolition date.
Volunteers
The community and ReNew benefit from volunteers' time and effort. From sign making and stocking shelves to picking up items and computer work, there is bound to be a volunteer project for you. We accept community service volunteers for some jobs. Please contact us if you would like to be of service in this way.
