HOUSEHOLD GOODS AND BUILDING MATERIAL STORES: RESOURCE OPERATES FOUR REUSE CENTERS THAT ACCEPT AND REDISTRIBUTE HOUSEHOLD GOODS AND BUILDING MATERIALS. THESE CENTERS INCLUDE: RESOURCE'S HOUSEHOLD GOODS STORE IN BURLINGTON AT 266 PINE STREET, THE BUILDING MATERIALS STORE AT 339 PINE STREET IN BURLINGTON, THE HOUSEHOLD GOODS AND BUILDING MATERIAL -CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O- STORE IN BARRE AT 30 GRANITE STREET, AND THE HOUSEHOLD GOODS AND BUILDING MATERIAL STORE AT 590 EAST MAIN STREET IN HYDE PARK. THROUGH THESE REUSE CENTERS, RESOURCE FINDS NEW HOMES FOR MAJOR APPLIANCES, COMPUTERS, ELECTRONICS, FURNITURE, AND INDUSTRIAL SURPLUS MATERIALS, WHICH ARE USED BY THE COMMUNITY AS ARTS, CRAFTS, AND EDUCATIONAL SUPPLIES. RESOURCE'S REUSE OF BUILDING MATERIALS WAS STARTED IN 2001 AND EXPANDED IN 2009 AND AGAIN IN 2012 WITH GROWTH INTO WASHINGTON AND LAMOILLE COUNTIES RESPECTIVELY. THE BUILDING MATERIAL ENTERPRISE ADDRESSES BOTH THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF BUILDING MATERIAL SALVAGE AND SUPPLY. MORE THAN 30 PERCENT OF THE MATERIAL IN LANDFILLS IS CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS INCLUDING LUMBER, HARDWOOD FLOORING, AND CABINET. AS THESE MATERIALS DEGRADE THEY RELEASE GASES, ESPECIALLY METHANE, A POWERFUL GREENHOUSE GAS. BY PICKING UP AND ACCEPTING REUSABLE BUILDING MATERIALS AT ZERO COST, RESOURCE SUPPORTS AND ENABLES CONTRACTORS AND HOME-OWNERS TO DECONSTRUCT AND SALVAGE BUILDING MATERIALS THAT OTHERWISE WOULD FILL A LANDFILL. THROUGH THIS SERVICE THE ORGANIZATION CREATES JOBS, PROTECTS THE ENVIRONMENT, AND RELIEVES POVERTY BY MAKING THESE MATERIALS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. BUILDING MATERIAL REUSE CLOSES THE LOOP IN THE BUILDING MATERIAL REUSE CYCLE BY PROVIDING AN OUTLET FOR HUNDREDS OF TONS OF WASTE THAT HOMEOWNERS AND CONTRACTORS HAVE NO OTHER WAY TO REUSE OR RECYCLE. HOMEOWNERS, TENANTS, CONTRACTORS, ARTISANS, AND DEVELOPERS ALL SHOP AT RESOURCE'S BUILDING MATERIAL STORE FOR A VARIETY OF MATERIALS INCLUDING LUMBER, PLYWOOD, WINDOWS, DOORS, SINKS, LIGHTING, ARCHITECTURAL ANTIQUE, AND WASTE-NOT-PRODUCTS.
