As environmental and economic forces continue to impress upon our society the benefits of reducing waste, Second Use envisions salvage and reuse of building materials as an increasingly user-friendly process and a standard component of a construction job. We envision building our capabilities in professional salvage and deconstruction services, and we aim to provide an enjoyable shopping experience for customers. We will do this together with contractors, homeowners, customers and community in the Puget Sound region - those who have been our partners from the beginning.
See the lights that we have for sale that have been restored or built by our Light Shop in our Restored Lighting Theme.
Since 1997, Second Use and local affiliates of Habitat for Humanity have built a productive relationship based on shared values. Both Second Use and Habitat are propelled forward with the goal of helping the community build affordable housing. We work hard to stretch the material resources in our community. We both help people exercise and strengthen their skills in home building and/or renovation. Both organizations are fundamentally connected to community. The relationship between Second Use and Habitat for Humanity of Seattle/King County and Tacoma/Pierce County makes sense.
We take a wide range of building materials and related items, but we can't take everything. There are many items not listed below that we will accept - please contact us if you think we might be interested in something that is not listed. Please look at the categories below for condition requirements specific to the category, along with "marginal styles" that we MAY be able to accept (call for info on current acceptability) and "unacceptable styles" that we will never accept. Acceptance is based on current stock levels and space, quality and condition of the material, and is always subject to final inspection by the Receiving Crew.

We just stocked a bunch of piling cookies at our Seattle store. These have not been dried, so are appropriate for outdoor uses in current condition. The fir takes on a blue hue when submerged and preserved for decades in Lake Washington! What a steal at $4 a slice! This is a bulk item, so we do not...
Our customer Rachael and family took on an interesting project during the pandemic shut down. Rachael & Michael’s son Austin was moving back home to start grad school, and they decided to build out a separate space with him, for him. What they originally thought was going to be a glorified shed,...
One favorite material of many of our customers is the Teredo Clam Wood. This popular lumber has amazing bore channels that come from the notorious teredo clam. These saltwater clams spend their entire lifespan in submerged timbers creating tunnels that rarely intersect. The raw stock logs (before...
Our Tacoma store got in some sheets of corrugated steel, in 2' squares as well as 10' and 12' sheets. This ever-popular material will probably sell quickly and because it is an bulk item, we cannot take holds on them. https:// www.seconduse.co m/ ?s=corrugated+st eel&post_type=i tem
