A nonprofit store in Springfield, Mass., that specializes in recycled building materials has announced it could be selling more lumber because of a state law that will ban the disposal of wood debris and other construction materials, according to a report in the Republican (Springfield, Mass.).
ReStore Home Improvement Center has plans to create a lumber recovery service to help contractors, material haulers and others comply with the legislation that goes into effect July 1, banning the disposal of lumber, asphalt, bricks, concrete and metal.
ReStore then plans to sell the recovered lumber, according to the report.
