When architect David Roth puts building projects out for bid, he gets an overwhelming number of manufacturers' samples in response, from paint chips to bricks -- enough to paper a small wall or pave a tiny courtyard, he says. And by next year the carpet samples, wall coverings, fabric, stone, glass, tile, laminates and vinyl, in their three-ring binders, have.all gone out of style.
Firms like Roth's The Downtown Design Company amass tons of the stuff -- literally. Now ZeroLandfill, an effort of Cleveland's BeeDance project, has chosen Pittsburgh as its 14th city, offering a creative way to redistribute and upcycle, or reuse, the material by artists, teachers or anyone else who wants to give them new life.
ZeroLandfill will hold two collection days (April 1 and 15, noon-3 p.m.) at Guardian Storage (2839 Liberty Ave., in the Strip District), followed by two giveaway days (April 2 and 16, noon-3 p.m.). Fill up a bag, fill up your car.
