Shop beushnyh construction materials
Today visited the most unusual building shop in his life. I do not really understand how to correctly name. They sell what is useful during the demolition of an old house, or what remains of unnecessary renovated apartment. There's a lot of old furniture, but it is not an antique shop. There's a lot of building materials, but it is not a shop for repair. To understand what it is, imagine a large supermarket, such as OBI, where there is everything from plumbing and finishing planks. Now imagine that all this old and already once and someone was used in construction, was dismantled after, cleaned up and is now being sold again. Similarly, on the shelf with adhesive price tags. The scale of the Brooklyn store supermarket till now certainly does not hold, but nevertheless, the range and diversity of the goods sold there are really impressive.

At first glance, the idea seems a little crazy, but it's only at first glance. This is actually a well-thought-out business. There are tons of good quality and things that people in certain circumstances, just throw. America would not be America if there is not found a man who decided to make money from their sale.
According to statistics, every day in New York is utilized 19,000 tons of construction waste. It is clear that 90 percent of this stuff, but the remaining 10% is quite suitable for further use things. Recently I was walking past the Kaufman film studio in Queens. Opposite the back door stood two huge garbage container that threw off used in the filming of the scenery. Huge sheets of thick plywood, doors, windows, boards, etc. All this is in excellent condition. It stood for a month in the form of interior of the house and went in the trash. Of course, it is not suitable for decoration, but as a rough building materials it can be perfectly used.
This has built his business in New York company BIG! NYC. The main idea is to reuse building materials. This helps to preserve nature and to make money. What else is needed for happiness. The range consists of everything that can be somehow re-used in the repair and construction of furniture, doors, plumbing, etc. Something they collect in preparing for the demolition of homes, something they give building contractors, but something ordinary people, which is simply a pity to throw in the trash. Most things are old, but it's not because they tend to be antiques, but because they did earlier in the century, and now so do not know how. The company itself is registered as a non-profit, so all the donors are able to write off part of the amount from their annual tax is spent on charity. Then all the company sells through its stores, the money left on your operating expenses (most of), and is often given to a charitable organization.
