Kristin Williams with The Reuse People of America, Inc., introduced the non-profit company, which encourages the deconstruction of residential structures and donations. She stated there were two recently -demolished buildings in Lodi that were good candidates for this program, including an older home south of the Wal-Mart development and another building on Lower Sacramento Road and Woodbridge Road.

Ms. Williams requested a more thorough presentation be scheduled for a future Shirtsleeve Session.

Salvaged materials mean substantially less goes to the landfill. ■ Give clients added value. They'll thank you for the bonus now—and again at tax time. ■ Gain an advantage over the competition. Deconstruction trumps the bulldozer mentality every time. • Help the environment. • Take the first step in the green -building process. • Receive a real cost offset for donated materials. An independent expert appraiser determines the appraised value of donated materials, which usually results in a significant tax deduction! • Reduce the cost of the overall project. When offset by tax savings and lower disposal costs, the net savings increase. • Reusable materials are kept out of overburdened landfills. • Someone, somewhere, reuses the materials, giving them extended life in new or remodeled homes. $4% TRP %4i4V The ReUse People of America Call or visit our website for an office near you. 9235 San Leandro Street Oakland, CA 94603 Phone: 510/383-1983 Phone toll-free: 888/588-9490 Fax: 510/383-1963 www.TheReusePeople.org Start Your Project Green Consider the ReUse Solution Weigh the advantages of deconstruction vs. demolition.

The ReUse People of America, a nonprofit 501(c)3 corporation, coordinates complete deconstruction services for building owners or their general contractors. Building owners receive a tax deduction for all salvaged materials. Through our efforts, eighty-five percent or more of the materials in an average deconstruction job can be salvaged and reused or recycled. Mission Statement The ReUse People of America, Inc. reduces the solid waste stream and changes the way the built environment is renewed by salvaging building materials and distributing them for reuse. Please take a moment to read the following example demonstrating the benefits homeowners received from The ReUse People of America. Then contact us to learn how you can receive these benefits. A 2,840 square -foot home was completely deconstructed in three weeks by a crew of five workers. The total weight of all salvaged materials was 48.2 tons, including appliances, bricks, cabinets, doors, finished electrical and plumbing, flooring, hardware, lighting, roof tile and windows. Because these materials were salvaged and donated to The ReUse People, the owner was eligible for approximately $100,000 in tax deductions, as verified by an independent appaiser. All scrap materials went to a local materials recovery facility for further sorting and recycling, and all concrete and asphalt were ground up for base rock. Typically, we are able to save over 85% of the weight of a single residence from the landfill.
