Redesign + More supporting "Green" Homes in Charlotte, NC

Redesign + More supporting "Green" Homes in Charlotte, NC.

Staged homes need to be updated before they can be sold, therefore this can create a lot of waste. Not to mention if you are doing a home redesign or complete home makeover you can still create a lot of waste on these projects too. Here’s a list of "Green" tips for you to keep the environment in mind when preparing your home to sell or if you are working on a home redesign project.

Habitat For Humanity

* Recycle by making donations of unwanted furniture, appliances, building materials, home accessories, antiques and more to a Habitat for Humanity Restore. These items are then sold at the ReStore at a fraction of their retail value and the money raised helps support the mission of Our Towns Habitat. Further, they keep hundreds of tons of reusable materials from landfills, therefore benefiting our environment.

Energy Star

* Recycle packaging materials from new product purchases.

* New appliance purchases should come with ENERGY STAR specifications.

* Recycle all your old wire hangers back to your drycleaner.

* Replace burnt out light bulbs in the home with ENERGY STAR qualified light bulbs.
