July 31: One of the biggest parts to any DIY project is figuring out what to do with the stuff you don’t want. Whether it’s furniture, appliances, or walls, there’s a way to dispose of, recycle, or donate what you don’t want.
- Listen to the show!
Today Mark and Theresa share their take on dumpsters, donations, and everything in-between for handling the extra stuff we all create in our homes and jobsites. Mark Hansen from DaVinci Roofscapes shares some insight on how best to dispose of the minimal waste generated by the recylable, synthetically manufactured slate roof tiles that Mark has been installing on their roof this week. Mark also shares information on DaVinci’s recycling program, which utilizes old DaVinci cutoffs to make their starter tiles. For more information, go to www.davinciroofscapes.com.
