ZeroLandfill Atlanta 2023
Aug 11, 2023
9:00 am—11:00 am
Presented by IIDA Georgia Chapter
Sponsored by ADAC
In the design and construction industry, we find ourselves creating a lot of waste from expired or unused materials collected in our finish libraries that inevitably make their way to the landfill. So, IIDA asked, “why not re-purpose or up-cycle these materials back into our community?” Once unwanted materials can be re-purposed into works of art and materials for educators, non-profit associations, artists, crafters, and more.
IIDA Georgia has partnered with Wilsonart and OfficeWorks to bring the ZeroLandfill event to Atlanta for the 10th year. In the first nine years of ZeroLandfill Atlanta, they have helped upcycle 399,000 pounds of discontinued architectural and interior design samples.
Please bring any discontinued or unwanted samples to the loading dock at ADAC on Friday, August 11. Fabric bolts and memos, wallcovering, tile, flooring, and more are all accepted materials. The mission is to re-purpose and upcycle these materials by offering them to Atlanta’s community of educators, artists, and crafters at no cost.
The donated samples can then be “shopped” Saturday, August 12 from 8 AM – 1 PM at Officeworks, 1811 Marietta Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30318.
