Deconstruction Services
A sustainable alternative to demolition

Finger Lakes ReUse is proud to beginning its Deconstruction Services program this spring. Led by our new Deconstruction Manager, Hans Milberger, our Decon Crew will dismantle entire buildings by hand as an alternative to demolition. Deconstruction aims to divert 70% to 90% of materials from landfills.

Welcome, Website, and We'll Miss You!
8 Jobs Created, Website Updates, 1 Guy Going West

Finger Lakes ReUse is committed to creating quality, green, living wage jobs. We have a great team of people putting this project together, and are excited to welcome Hans Milberger, Deconstruction Coordinator, as the newest member of the crew. And a special farewell to Greg Billing, our Marketing Coordinator who has done a terrific job working with customers and building upon Cobp Design's (www.cobp.com) website. Now highly interactive and informative, our site is a great way to request something on our Wish List, familiarize yourself with our Deconstruction Service and Donation Pick Up Service, or simply say hello! Greg will be leading an Outward Bound program this summer, then continuing to head west. We'll all miss him, his humor, his creativity, his professionalism, and not to mention the ReUse Cow! (You'll have to come in to ask the staff about that one...)
