Horsens, DK extracts additional value from unused building materials with The Green Corner
Homeowners and contractors bring usable bricks, floorboards, and other materials to Det Grønne Hjørne. Municipal recycling teams filter out broken or heavily used products prior to acceptance. Horsens uses collected supplies during new municipal construction and renovations of existing structures. Strong interest in the program could lead The Green Corner to sell materials at affordable rates for sustainable residential and commercial projects.
