In the photoset above, our deconstruction crew and volunteers dismantle a 2,600 square foot house constructed in 1980 on Cayuga Lake. More than 75% of the materials were reclaimed for reuse in our communities, including vinyl siding, insulation, and loads of great lumber! Other photos follow from our ReUse Center and other activities. Enjoy!

Finger Lakes ReUse is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping our communities benefit from reuse by reducing waste, relieving poverty, and teaching job skills. We operate a ReUse Center open to the public 7 days a week (accepting and selling quality used furniture, salvaged and surplus building materials, housewares, and home electronics,) provide Deconstruction Services as a green alternative to demolition, and our computer reuse program, the eCenter accepts computers and refurbishes them for reuse in our community.

Nonprofits: Early in 2011, we conduted a survey to assess the basic IT needs of the Finger Lakes nonprofit community. Nonprofit organizations provide essential services in our community, and it is our goal to ensure that they have the technology and IT support they need to fulfill their missions. We are still interested in your needs, if you have not yet responded. Please click HERE to complete the survey today.
