Mission: To promote and develop collaborative community projects and public education programs that enhance economic opportunities and connect businesses, institutions, and people more fully to their communities, the natural environment, and to each other.
Results: Since 2005, Community Forklift has diverted over $45 million of discarded but usable materials from local landfills, converting them into community assets that catalyze economic, environmental, housing, and community revitalization. Since its founding, Community Forklift has become one of the largest and most successful reuse centers in the country, and is a pioneer in the green building and reuse industry.
Geographic areas served: the DMV region
Programs: Community Forklift is the DC-area’s nonprofit reuse center for home improvement supplies. We collect donations of new and gently used building materials and home essentials and make them available to the community at low cost. We also distribute free materials to nonprofits and neighbors in need, create good green jobs, and educate the public about reuse.
