Recycling your home when remodeling or rebuilding begins with a process called deconstruction, which is action of taking a home apart, instead of demolishing it.  Dismantling a home piece by piece allows you to save an reuse as many of the building components as possible.  Instead of bulldozing a house and adding to landfill waste, a trained crew can deconstruct a home, saving the materials which can be either donated or sold. 

To begin this process you must first locate a deconstruction expert in your community. Then you need to arrange an appraisal consultation, where the deconstruction company will come to your home and give an assessment of your home's value.  Your home will be deconstructed over a period of several days.  Finally the materials will be donated or sold.  Almost everything in a home can be salvaged except for the sheetrock and plaster.  The items that are typically salvaged include doors, windows, cabinets, lighting fixtures, framing lumber, plumbing fixtures, countertops, copper wiring, roofing materials, brick and flooring among other materials. The items can then be sold for your profit or donated to a non-profit company, you can then collect a tax deduction based on the value of the materials you donate. 

Recycling the raw materials of your home not only benefits the environment but also puts some money in your pocket.  For more information on deconstruction please visit http://goo.gl/2Pj2mC.
