The Loading Dock

The Loading Dock, Inc. (TLD), a building materials reuse facility, offers great deals and interesting finds to people who need inexpensive building materials and are interested in keeping materials out of the waste stream. Our Mission: We increase the supply and use of affordable building materials for housing and community improvement by redirecting landfill bound, reusable materials into productive use.

The Loading Dock, Inc. (TLD) is the nation's first successful, self-sufficient, nonprofit building materials reuse center, packed with new and used items and architectural salvage. Motivated by the prevalence of poor housing conditions coupled with waste in the building industry, the founders of TLD established the nonprofit reuse clearinghouse in 1984. Donated materials, sorted and stored in TLD's 45,000-square-foot warehouse, are used in renovation and homeowner and rental property upkeep. Our Mission is twofold.
