GREAT NEWS! 

The LBC Retail Store at 1116 Murphy Avenue SW, Atlanta, GA 30310 now has SATURDAY hours from 10am-4pm, in addition to Tuesdays & Fridays from 10am-6pm!

The LIFECYCLE BUILDING CENTER (LBC) project is a collaborative effort between many Atlanta area stakeholders.  The idea is to reduce solid waste disposal, promote resource efficiency, stimulate economic development, and empower every citizen to improve their own built environment.

The heart of the LBC concept is our large-scale used building materials retail facility that sells or otherwise directs material to the general public in lieu of disposal.  The sales revenue, foot traffic, and operational behavior of the facility are leveraged to enact the LBC mission and creatively serve the community at large. 

 SPRING FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN

Throughout this Spring season, the Lifecycle Building Center will be working hard to capture reusable building materials from the waste stream in order to give them a new life within renovation and construction projects across Metro Atlanta.  

To further strengthen the LBC's capacity to provide deeply discounted materials to the public and free materials to nonprofits and schools, we've recently launched a Spring Fundraising Campaign, with a goal of raising $50,000 by June 13.

22% TO $50K!

With generous support from our Partners & Members, we have already raised $11,000! Please help us grow the LBC's operation and increase our impact on the City by making a tax-deductible donation today through our fiscal sponsor, USGBC-GA. Member levels start at $25 and Partner levels start at $250!

Join the Lifecycle Building Center as we culminate our Spring Fundraising Campaign with a huge party at Trees Atlanta on Thursday, June 13th, from 6-9pm!

Come and enjoy Trees Atlanta's beautiful LEED Platinum building and outdoor terraces.  We'll have live music, food offerings from Atlanta's finest farms and chefs, a range of creative artwork made with salvaged materials, and many other exciting auction items available.

Purchase your tickets TODAY and be a part of the LBC's biggest celebration yet!

 Donated Forklift from Balfour Beatty

On November 30, the LBC received an incredible gift; a donated forklift from Balfour Beatty Construction!  This piece of equipment now plays an essential role in the success of the LBC operation by significantly increasing our staff's efficiency, and by allowing us to take on material pickups that would have previously been impossible.  Thank you Balfour Beatty for your belief in the LBC's mission!

 Donated Box Truck from Southern Lighting Source

We're thrilled to announce that this beauty of a truck has finally found a home at the LBC thanks to Southern Lighting Source!  This donation has already made a huge difference in our ability to collect material and our pick-up services, including a recent project collaboration with LBC Community Partner JE Dunn Construction and at the Morningside Salvage Project (pics).  Soon you'll see Adam's artistic handiwork put to use when he brands our new family member with the LBC logo!

 LBC Expands into 70,000SF Facility

At the Happy Hour event on October 17th, The LBC Board announced their decision to expand from the 12,000 square foot building into the full 70,000 square foot facility at 1116 Murphy Avenue SW, 30310.  This move has profoundly impacted our operation by enabling us to accept a much wider range of material donations.  View our SHOP page or visit us in person.  The LBC facility is open to the public on Tuesdays and Fridays from 10am-6pm or make an appointment with Adam Deck at 404-99-REUSE or adam@lifecyclebuildingcenter.org

 Thank you to everyone who made the Lifecycle Building Center's First Annual Dinner event a huge success!  A special thanks to our speakers, Leesa Carter from Captain Planet Foundation and Denise Quarles from the City of Atlanta Office of Sustainability.  Thank you also to all of our participating restaurants, farms, volunteers and event sponsors for your amazing support!  More photos from the event can be found here.
