ReSource is having a "Clem said, 'We should have a sale!' Sale"

Who's Clem? Well, he's one of the hard-working staff at ReSource Boulder likely to meet you with a smile and ask how he can help you.

It was his idea to give customers an additional 30% off reclaimed building materials and household items already priced at pennies on the dollar. So stop by to tell Clem "thanks!" as you find new treasures for your home and yard.

Below is a list of the materials that will be on sale each weekend in July:

July 10 - 12 Reclaimed doors
July 17 - 19 Reclaimed windows & doors
July 24 - 26 Reclaimed cabinets, windows, & doors
July 31-Aug 2 Everything (except lumber)

Please note that ReSource will be closed July 3 - 5 for the Independence Day holiday

ReSource, a nonprofit program of the Center for ReSource Conservation, salvages used building materials and resells them at great prices, making it possible to reuse and recycle building materials that are traditionally discarded during construction and demolition (C&D) and basic remodeling. ReSource Yard sales outlets are located in Boulder and Fort Collins.

5th Annual CRC ReWards Reception & Auction a resounding success!

Each year the Center for ReSource Conservation (CRC) brings Colorado’s conservation community together to celebrate our collective accomplishments. We honor local conservation pioneers for their commitment to environmental causes in our community with the CRC ReWards, outbid each other on fabulous silent auction items, eat delicious food, and of course, network!

In 2009 we moved our annual event to a warmer time of year (June 5th) and a beautiful new location (St. Julien Hotel) so our guests could fully experience Boulder’s unique climate, culture, and scenery. While briefly interrupted by a classic Colorado afternoon thunderstorm, everyone rallied to keep the silent auction and lively conversation flowing without missing a beat. In short, the evening was a huge success - more than 265 friends attended, we raised approximately $80,000 for conservation efforts in the community, and had a great time while doing it.

Be sure to thank our ReWard Winners for all that they do to advance conservation.
