This year’s theme: ReBuilders Source is the Construction Industry’s Resource. Click here to register online ReBuilders Source is a retail store determined to serve and educate the public about seeing construction material debris as not a waste product but as a valuable resource instead. Tons of construction debris are produced daily by New York City's construction industry. A large percentage of those resources are diverted directly into the landfill as opposed to being recycled at local, green worker-run businesses like ReBuilders Source. ReBuilders Source has 18,000+ square feet of warehouse space that is dedicated to receiving construction and building materials from projects throughout the tri-state area. They then sell these new or salvaged building and architectural materials of high-quality to the general public at below retail prices. Large donors of these new or salvaged building and architectural materials can receive a tax-deductible donation through Green Worker Cooperatives, a non-profit business incubator dedicated to forming local, green worker run businesses in the South Bronx. ReBuilders Source subscribes to the principle of a zero waste philosophy.Zero waste is a concept that products produced can have multiple uses that divert them from entering landfills. Opened since April 2008,ReBuilders is an easy and accessible alternative to the landfill. On September 12th, the ReBuilders Source staff will be available with pledge cards to assist your construction business with beginning or streamlining your green or LEED initiatives. As a large number of construction industry businesses embrace deconstruction methods and more earth-friendly building practices, a visit to ReBuilders Source will make YOU an expert on how to green your debris at your worksites. Doors open at 10 am. Arrive early to take special tours that are scheduled for all construction industry professionals following your BBQ meal. There is no cost for this event. ReBuilders Source/Green Worker Cooperatives are located at 461 Timpson Place Bronx, New York.
