Massachusetts is facing a waste crisis.
It is quickly running out of landfill space and no new sites are currently in the pipeline.
Trash incinerators are operating at capacity.
Everyone agrees that we need to reduce the amount of trash we generate.
But how?
Many of the items we throw out could have a second life – perfectly reusable sinks, doors, beds, dressers, housewares, etc. How do we connect the “excess” with the “need?” Two organizations working to find a new life for unwanted household goods and building supplies are Household Goods in Acton and Boston Building Resources in Roxbury.
Household Goods provides a full range of donated furniture and household items, free of charge, to help people in need make a home.
Last year Household Goods furnished 3,100 homes with 90,000 items – large and small.
This was made possible by hundreds of dedicated volunteers.
Brigid Bieber, Board of Directors Vice President, will talk about how Household Goods has successfully provided its services to MetroWest since 1990.
Boston Building Resources provides the Boston community with high-value, affordable materials, both new and used, for home maintenance and improvements.
The organization also provides expert advice, technical assistance, and hands-on skills workshops.
Donating reusable materials to the BBR Reuse Center keeps these items out of landfills.
Andrew Thompson, Assistant Director of Partnerships at BBR, will talk about the BBR story, evolving since 1978.
