A Valley-based nonprofit that resells used and surplus building material that would otherwise end up in the landfill has moved to a new location off the Palmer-Wasilla Highway.
PALMER, Alaska - A Valley-based nonprofit that accepts used and surplus building materials and sells them at a fraction of retail cost has officially moved to its new location in Palmer.for a new location since July of last year after the former building it was leasing in Wasilla was put up for sale.
The store’s model is essentially a thrift shop for home renovation and construction. People donate usable building material they no longer need and the company sells it back into the community for a fraction of its retail value — 50% or less. MVR didn’t have a $200,000 down payment required for the purchase, but Zalinger said the previous owners admired the company’s mission and agreed to make a deal for the downpayment to be paid over the course of 12 months in the form of quarterly installments.
On Friday, local contractor Daniel McMullins stopped by with a donation of a few items from a remodel he’s been working on in the area. As a contractor, McMullins admitted that the number of usable items he’s seen disposed of is disturbing.
