Asset Recycling

A few months ago I came across a newspaper article about Asset Recycling. At Asset Recycling, you can find used, but still usable building materials and they also have some new building materials. Here is some information from their website:


WHAT IS ASSET RECYCLING?
Asset Recycling, a division of Youth Fair Chance, Inc., a non-profit organization works to divert usable building materials from landfills while offering donors all allowable tax incentives for their contributions. It provides neighborhoods with new and affordable building materials for home projects.

While the Asset Recycling warehouse primarily contains windows, doors, paint, plumbing supplies, flooring, and lighting, clients can also count on finding some interesting deals on arts and crafts items, holiday and party supplies, home decorating items, fabrics, and more! Asset Recycling houses over 30,000 square feet of new and ready-to-use resources.

The charity's focus is to provide today's youth with a fair chance for a safer and more environmentally friendly future by eliminating usable building materials from landfills. Besides the Asset Recycling warehouse in Indianapolis, Youth Fair Chance, Inc. operates New Build, Inc., a warehouse in Cincinnati, Ohio.

In operation since April of 2003, Asset Recycling is open to the public. Inventory changes often, so frequent visits are encouraged.

Asset Recycling assesses a handling fee formulated to cover the agency's cost. Clients pay a nominal fee which is at least 50% lower than retail value, but sometimes up to 90% lower.

Cracker Barrel 50% off Christmas Sale

We went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast this morning with my parents and found they were having a great sale on their Christmas items.  There were many nice items for 50% and 60% off.   

There were also some non-Christmas clothing items that were 70% off.

My poor dad - he thought he was going to get to go out to eat and here we had him shopping. He's a good sport though and even carried the bags.

We went to the Cracker Barrel right off I-65 in Southport.  You might want to call your local store to find out if they have the same sale before you go there.

You can find your local store here.
