Finding Purpose for Our Renovation Materials
To avoid sending tons of usable fixtures and appliances to a landfill during our renovation, we tried a “post it and see if they will come” strategy. It worked.

My husband and I recently bought a larger apartment in our Upper East Side building that came with custom carpentry, solid wood doors, a nice working kitchen and hefty doorknobs. And then, we ditched much of it.
I’ve gone sidewalk shopping for years in the city, and I know New Yorkers junk lots of good gear that they just can’t store. So, rather than send truckloads of perfectly-fine-but-dated material to landfills, I set my sights on giving away everything. Not just fixtures and built-ins from the new apartment but moving supplies, kids’ musical instruments with low mileage, and a custom 6-by-6-foot armoire from our old apartment that the new owner didn’t want and that we could no longer use.

I recently showed up at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Randolph, N.J., about 10 minutes after it opened, and already the warehouse was full of customers looking for secondhand light fixtures, door knobs, bedroom sets, sofas and windows.
A white Jacuzzi tub with jets was sprawled awkwardly on the floor beside a bathroom vanity with a granite top and ornate cabinetry. No one seemed particularly interested in either. But the narrow aisle full of screwdrivers, light switches and door hinges was packed with shoppers expertly sifting through the bins. On the opposite side of the warehouse, a young couple examined an old door. Over by the light fixtures, an older woman delicately placed a brass chandelier into her cart.
