Experience Lifecycle Building Center

Strengthening communities through building material reuse.

LBC is a nonprofit that captures building materials from the waste stream and directs them back into the community through reuse. We keep valuable building materials out of landfills and put them back to work in homes, nonprofits and businesses across metro Atlanta.

Founded in 2011 by a group of passionate volunteers wanting to help Atlanta tackle its overwhelming solid waste problem, LBC continues to build the infrastructure needed to redirect reusable materials from the landfill back to good use.

Donate Materials

We accept a wide range new and gently used building materials, as well as select furniture, in clean and reusable condition.

Schedule

Shop Reuse

The heart of LBC is our Reuse Center & Store, from which we sell or direct reclaimed building materials to the general public. Our 70,000 sq. ft. facility is open five days a week. LBC’s pricing structure is between 50-85% below new material costs.
