The Green Project

The Green Project in New Orleans is dedicated to cultivating a culture of creative reuse and reducing waste. Their Salvage Store, located on St. Claude and Press St., offers a variety of new and used building materials like doors, lumber, light fixtures, and cabinets.

Through their paint recycling program, The Green Project diverts usable paint from landfills and provides a safe disposal method for old paint, contributing to the protection of local ecosystems. Additionally, the organization offers free K-12 environmental education programs, Salvage Store tours, and community workshops to educate residents on recycling and creative reuse.

The Green Project's efforts result in significant environmental impact, including preventing 40,000 gallons of paint from polluting water sources annually, reclaiming 2 million pounds of materials, and educating over 700 local students and residents each year. Their mission focuses on turning today's trash into tomorrow's treasure.
