Demolition Recycling

Every year large amounts of perfectly good building materials go into landfills.  Many of these materials can be salvaged for reuse.  You can help save scarce space in our landfills and may save money in the process.  Salvaged materials can be sold or donated and taken as a tax deduction.  Your disposal costs may also be reduced.

The following materials are some of the many that can be salvaged: Plumbing Fixtures, Appliances, Kitchen & Bathroom Cabinets, Fencing, Windows & Doors, Mantels & Trim, Countertops, Light Fixtures, Brick & Stone.

Several local organizations handle salvaged materials.  The listing of an organization or business on this webpage does not represent an endorsement by the Village of Lincolnwood.
