The Green Project is largely known for our building materials warehouse store that diverts usable materials from landfills and puts them back into circulation in the community. We also teach and encourage good stewardship of our environment by supporting the mindful use of resources.

We accept donations of used, new and overstock building materials that would otherwise be landfill bound. We’ll even pick your donation up!! To schedule a pickup or for more info, please call 504.578.0188!

At The Green Project we believe that when individuals understand the actions they can take and the impact of their decisions, they will make the right choices. And that starts with environmental education. 

The Green Project opened in 1994 as a small, neighborhood paint exchange center in response to the complete absence of responsible paint disposal options in New Orleans. We were the first – and remain the only – paint recycling facility in the Gulf South.

The Green Project depends on the generosity of people like you. We gladly accept your gently used building materials as well as monetary donations and volunteer support. All donations are tax deductible and used to further our mission of promoting environmentally sustainable living in New Orleans.
