[RP TownTalk] brick removal

[_Elizabeth A. Aukamp_]

Karen,

Another resource for your bricks may be Community Forklift, located in 
Edmondston.  I've not yet been there, but I imagine it's pretty fantastic.  
Here's a little blurg about them:

Have you checked out Community Forklift yet? We are the DC metro area's 
surplus, salvaged, and green building materials store - owned and operated 
by the nonprofit Sustainable Community Initiatives. You can donate building 
materials to receive a tax deduction, or buy new and used items at very low 
prices!

Our goals are to:
* Lift up communities by making repairs more affordable for homeowners, 
small businesses and community groups;
* Reduce construction waste, decreasing the demand for virgin materials and 
keeping reusable materials out of landfills and incinerators;
* Create career opportunities for local residents; and
* Educate the public about green building materials and methods, especially 
reuse.


I'd personally take the bricks off your hands, but the patio projects I have 
in mind are likely to begin no less than a year from now.  But just in case, 
how big a pile are we talking about here?  [I'm a pack rat, through and 
though.]

Marc --  Thanks for your information about Freecycle as well!


Hope this is helpful to you,
Liz Aukamp
4710 Sheridan Street
