How HARVEST Eco-Salvage’s Unique Approach Brings Sustainability To The Phoenix Metro Area
Harvest Eco-Salvage: Transforming Construction, Bringing Sustainability to the Phoenix Metro Area
At Harvest Eco Salvage, our commitment to sustainable deconstruction and recycling, an IRS-approved approach, has evolved over 25 years, bringing sustainability to the Phoenix metro area. According to Site Selection Magazine’s Sustainability Rankings, Arizona is number 4 in the nation for sustainable practices. The Arizona Commerce Society also reports that “the Phoenix Metro also ranked no. 2 in the Mountain Region among major metropolitan statistical areas for the second year in a row.” We’ve earned trust as a reliable source for sustainable building materials in the area, reshaping the construction landscape with a focus on community impact.
Our Green Mission: Rescuing Materials, Renewing Communities
Our mission is clear: salvage reusable building materials and recyclables from structures marked for demolition or renovation, bringing sustainability to the Phoenix metro area. With an esteemed reputation with the IRS, we’ve redirected hundreds of millions of dollars in Charitable Non-Cash Donations, diverting tons of materials from our landfills. The impact reaches far beyond waste reduction, benefiting both the community and the environment.
A Unique Self-Funded Non-Profit: Pioneering Sustainability
What sets us apart is our approach to sustainability. Unlike traditional non-profits, we don’t rely on grants or public donations. Donors cover operational costs, receiving a substantial tax deduction in return. This innovative model generates construction jobs, reduces landfill waste, and supports social service agencies.
Why Choose Harvest Eco-Salvage? A Smart, Sustainable Decision
Our program offers a unique blend of financial wisdom and environmental consciousness. Instead of contributing to landfills, donors redirect usable materials like doors, appliances, and cabinets to improve our community. In 2024 alone, we diverted over 160 million tons from landfills, issuing $36,000,000 in Non-Cash Charitable donations.
Supporting Social Service Partners: Building Community Together
We don’t run traditional thrift stores. Instead, we provide materials to non-profit partners, from domestic abuse shelters to veteran housing programs. Our unique program, approved twice by the IRS, allows deductions based on real estate value, not thrift store values, effectively reducing landfill mass by an average of 90%.
IRS-Compliant Program: Navigating Sustainability Responsibly
Our program adheres to IRS requirements, offering substantial tax deductions to sustainability-driven donors. With our focus on construction, sustainability, and community well-being, we’ve obtained permanent status as a 501c3 Non-Profit Corporation twice from the IRS.
