The Sustainable Warehouse Needs a Home
Posted by Chad Norman July 25th, 2008 .
I just stumbled upon what sounds like a great new local organization called The Sustainable Warehouse. This nonprofit’s mission is to keep usable items out of the landfill by organizing salvage sales here in Charleston. This is not only a great way to reduce garbage, but reduce the demand for new stuff. I mean, a huge part of this problem is our addiction to stuff - so reusing as much as possible can make a real impact.
The Sustainable Warehouse is in need of a permanant home. If you know of a warehouse facility that is available, please send them an email or call 843-532-9351. Also, if you have a project, call them to see if they can find what you need.
This is an inventive project…I can’t wait to see where it goes!

What about the Berle shopping center on Folly Rd. on James Island next to Buffalo South? I don’t know what the building condition or the rent is like, but it’s been vacant for years…
In MD, there was a reuse barn similar to how this sounds. It worked very well to reduce products being thrown into the landfill.
The freecycle site it very good for that, too!
