Building Material Donation Event

Have extra materials from your latest building or remodeling project?

This event will be an opportunity to donate usable building materials to a local nonprofit that specializes in the reuse and resale of building materials. Better Futures Minnesota will be onsite to vet all materials for quality and potential for resale. Our partner reserve the right to refuse unusable materials. All items deemed acceptable will be taken for free. Used items in good condition accepted unless otherwise noted. This event is open to everyone, whether you are a Brooklyn Park resident or not!
