Notes:

Who we are:
The Green Project is governed by a 13-member board. Each board
member serves for two years and is elected by The Green Project
membership at our annual membership meeting each June.

We hire only the best of the best. The Green Project employs over
15 full- and part-time staff. We are always looking for more. If
you would like to work at The Green Project, stop by to fill out
an application or send your resume to:

What we do:
The Green Project operates a WAREHOUSE STORE that resells
high-quality, salvaged building materials at low cost to the
community. The store is dedicated to helping the environment
by reducing the amount of usable materials placed in landfills
or disposed of improperly.


The Green Project also SALVAGES AND DECONSTRUCTS damaged or
collapsed buildings by hand, in a way that saves between 45
and 70 percent of the materials. This preserves New Orleans'
unique architectural history and benefits New Orleans'
residents by returning their ruined building materials to
use elsewhere in the city.

The Green Project store also serves as a local RECYCLED PAINT
resource by reclaiming, combining, and reselling surplus paint.
This keeps paint out of the region's landfills and water system
while providing affordable paint to the community.

The Green Project warehouse serves as a RECYCLING center.
The Green Project will recycle your paper, newsprint, aluminum
cans, soup cans, household electronics and corrugated cardboard.
We currently recycle cardboard, newspaper, regular paper (plain
and colored), aluminum cans and household e-waste (electronic
equipment like computers, stereos, printers, monitors, cell
phones, etc). We can NOT take plastic or glass because no one
in the city can pick it up. We also can NOT accept scrap metal
- please take it to a scrap metal yard.

Now that Spring is here, our GARDEN is blooming. Through our
gardening workshops you can learn how to make the most of a
small space, recycle your yard and kitchen waste into compost
and improve your soil.

RECYCLE FOR THE ARTS merged with The Green Project in 2003.
R4A provides art materials to individual artists, schools,
art programs, galleries, and other non-profit groups at
minimal cost, as well as offers monthly recycled art
workshops.

THE GREEN ROOM is an interactive community space that promotes
using garbage and salvage as artistic material. The space is
used to display the work of local artists and is available for
workshops and community events. Contact us at:
info@thegreenproject.org
if you'd like to rent The Green Room for your next event.

The Green Project is also involved in GREEN BUILDING & SPECIAL
PROJECTS like our solar panels, biodiesel and community outreach.
