Reclaimed Furniture Will Lower Costs for GreenBy3 Clients
A local firm moving to new offices offered GreenBy3 the furnishings they will not need in their new space. Last week we rented a 20-foot truck and made three trips from the downtown office to our warehouse, reclaiming desks, chairs, couches, end tables, and filing cabinets.
Discarded office furniture to be reused rather than sent to the landfill.
Many of these furnishings will go to two current GreenBy3 clients who are looking for more sustainable options for their projects and more affordable options as well. Some of it will go to Crisis Ministries to furnish the construction office trailer that will see heavy use while the new men’s shelter is built.

GreenBy3‘s project in Hendersonville, NC will also become the recipient of some of these furnishings. That client is building a two-story business incubator for green and tech start-up companies. Reclaimed furnishings are a good fit for the building’s purpose and tenants, plus the cost reduction will make a big difference on this ambitious project.
A reused leather couch will give an up-scale look to a waiting room furnished on a budget.
Making the effort to reclaim and reuse building materials and furnishings helps the environment by saving the energy of producing new goods and reducing the load at landfills. GreenBy3 is glad to be able to offer more sustainable and more cost effective options to clients who are helping people and our communities.
