Serving New Orleans since 1994, the Green Project's mission is to promote a culture of creative reuse by diverting usable materials from landfills and cultivating a respect for their value. By selling used and teaching about reuse, we are able to provide affordable materials to the community, host low-cost and free workshops, keep usable goods out of the landfill and nearby waterways, preserve historic architectural pieces and educate residents about environmental issues. The Green Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, began as a volunteer paint recycling program after it became apparent that New Orleans needed a responsible alternative to dumping paint and polluting regional waterways.
Located between St. Roch and the Bywater, our Salvage Store diverts 2 million pounds of usable materials from the landfill every year. We collect and sell items at roughly 30-50% of retail value, allowing us to provide affordable building materials to our community.
