Reuse International

Reuse, for the win!

A new law aims to keep smartphones out of the dump. It also has global implications.

Tax deductions should be on those materials reused and based on value of potential sales (25-75% off retail, depending on condition). Not based on the value of the whole house and certainly not on the value of the square footage of the property based on any given zip code. We have been saying just this for 20+ years. I hope homeowners will educate themselves about this case law and how they run the risk of having a deduction denied because bad actors trying to get away with improper appraisals and ultimately take away business from those who playing by the rules.

Reuse takes pressure off landfills and it saves much of the energy embedded in the salvaged material. This leads to participation by earnest people who want to do things right and don't want the purity of the industry besmirched by bad actors.

Interesting read. The IRS is confronting a few bad actors who are potentially harming the good work of the overall reuse industry.

If the salvageable material from deconstructing your house is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, you should not need to pay somebody to take the house apart so that you can give the pieces to charity. There should be people waving money in front of your face to come in and take it apart.
