The closest is the Re*store which is also a non profit. I picked up my wall cabinets there. I salvaged the lumber that I could from the wall, but there isn''t currently a good way to recycle or reuse drywall. I spent a little time researching this and there are places that will recycle drywall, but only if it is new scrap (from current construction) and not if it has been painted.

Donate your old house parts there. Sweetie and I donated a half-bundle of old composition shingles there last year and picked up a brand-new, still-in-the-wrapper toilet seat for two bucks. Maybe there''s something like this where you live?
