Recycling building materials

  RESTORE
Recycling Building Materials

ReStores are building supply stores run by Habitat for Humanity affiliates that accept and resell quality new and used building materials. Shopping at a ReStore is an environmentally conscious decision, as much of what is sold at ReStores is product that is new, gently used or customer returns that would otherwise end up in a landfill.


Unwanted vehicles

Simcoe County Trails While driving our country roads or through our communities, it is a regrettable to see so many old and unsightly vehicles rusting away and contaminating our environment. It does not have to be that way though! A local trails association, Huronia Trails and Greenways has an innovative trail program, called “Help Trails Grow”.
