Second Use Building Materials

For over twenty years, Second Use has worked to reduce waste through diverting reusable building materials from the landfill and providing the public with high quality, affordable salvage.

With locations in both Seattle and Tacoma, their ever-changing stock of reclaimed building materials is harvested locally from homes and commercial spaces slated for remodel or demolition. 3,000 tons of doors, cabinets, windows, lighting, lumber, hardware, furniture, and more are diverted from the landfill each year through their SODO retail outlet. This process provides both a more affordable, sustainable alternative to buying new and a mechanism for passing on the stories that inhabit the homes and businesses of the Puget Sound region.
