Hello Bus People, I am on the board of the ReCONNstruction Center, 230 South St., New Britain, CT 06051. We are doing wonderful things for the landfills. We are partners with the ReUse People which is Deconstruction and began in California. Now there are Regional Managers in Connecticut! We are a non-profit organization and take in tax deductible donations of building materials from contractors, homeowners, landlords or anyone, and resell the usable materials to the public at low prices. Connecticut has no more space left in the landfills, the state is trucking building materials to Ohio! We are keeping products out of the landfills. We also assist charitable organizations with complimentary building materials, and raise money for other non-profits in need (as we are). To explain our mission and what we have, please see our website www.reCONNstructioncenter.org and COME ON DOWN! WE ARE AS GREEN AS YOU ARE! We will give you some of our products for show and tell if you need them on your venture to get the word out. Tel. 860-597-3390. email: info@reconnstructioncenter.org

Hi guys, it's great to have you on Changents! I'm excited to follow your story and hopefully see some pics of the green demolition you're doing. It would be awesome if eventually you could expand from Buffalo to other NY cities and finally other US states. The issue you're targeting sure isn't confined to NY alone!
