Massachusetts construction and demolition landfills are full. If you are remodeling, you should ensure that as much of the building materials can be reused by deconstructing rather than demolishing. There are building resource companies and charities that will come and collect your old kitchen, bathroom, lighting, windows etc., for free. Smaller household items can be donated to your favorite charity. Tax deductions may be available for donated goods. Likewise you can purchase surplus or recycled building materials from various locations including architectural salvage stores.
