Turning Copper into Cash!

Selecting the right materials for your renovation is challenging enough, especially when you also factor in the time involved in the layout and design.  With so many available options, the design process can become quite overwhelming.  I have found that through extensive research, I have been able to make informed decisions on the products that I am contemplating while thoroughly evaluating their environmental impact. 

As I have mentioned previously, I am going to share the research that I have come across with respect to making environmentally sound choices, to assist you with your design project decisions.  Keeping in mind that every little eco-savvy alternative helps!  :)

Just as important as implementing your sustainable design options are the enviro considerations when disposing of the material waste.  The overall environment impact is what counts and most major cities offer recycling depots that convert metal waste into cash!  Yup, never has a trip to the recycling yard been so rewarding.  This past weekend, I accompanied the contractor to Cohen & Cohen (http://www.cohenandcohen.com/reuse/recyclers/), where we converted our metal waste from our project into cold, hard cash!

Like every successful project, research and planning are key as is working with a team of individuals that share the same vision.  If you organize your project from the get go, recycling your waste and minimizing your environmental impact is a breeze!
