Build It Green!NYC's Deconstruction Services are available to professionally dismantle anything from a kitchen to a whole house. Our team will carefully uninstall your materials and remove the items, offering you a tax receipt for your donation and removing the items without a container fee. Deconstruction is also your best environmental, and often financial, alternative to the landfill.
