Located on St. Claude and Press St., our donation-based Salvage Store carries a wide array of new and used building materials, including doors, lumber, light fixtures, cabinets and more. Our paint recycling program diverts usable paint from the landfill and offers residents a safe way to dispose of old paint, in turn protecting local ecosystems. Our free K-12 environmental education programs, Salvage Store tours, outreach events and community workshops teach residents about recycling and creative reuse.

About
Report
Serving New Orleans since 1994, the Green Project's mission is to promote a culture of creative reuse by diverting usable materials from landfills and cultivating a respect for their value. By selling used and teaching about reuse, we are able to provide affordable materials to the community, host low-cost and free workshops, keep usable goods out of the landfill and nearby waterways, preserve historic architectural pieces and educate residents about environmental issues.
What We Do
Report
Located between St. Roch and the Bywater, our Salvage Store diverts 2 million pounds of usable materials from the landfill every year. We collect and sell items at roughly 30-50% of retail value, allowing us to provide affordable building materials to our community. Customers may not test merchandise for any reason, including but not limited to light fixtures, power tools, and appliances.

This giving season, we're fundraising to bring immersive Environmental Education experiences to New Orleans students through the M.E.S.S. Lab, a place-based learning lab that teaches students how to care for the environment and their community. We are wrapping up the curriculum, building out the physical lab space, and fundraising for the launch.
