Community Forklift -- the DC region's building materials recovery and resale center -- is now open Sundays

Community Forklift is located in Edmonston, Maryland, a couple miles outside of DC in Prince George's County, Maryland (where it is easier and somewhat cheaper to lease industrial space compared to DC).

A couple of past articles that mention the organization are:

- Buying on the cheap: inexpensive tricks can turn boring space into lively place (Washington Times)

The stock of items present is wide, turns over quite a bit, and is constantly improving. (I saw an amazing double sideboard seafoam green kitchen sink which had been already sold, but was in perfect condition and worth as much as $4,000 easy--it sold for a lot less than that!). Great fireplace mantles, decent cabinets, constantly improving sections of lighting and tiles await you

A new "Salvage Arts" department, not unlike the more upscale items present at the Brass Knob store on 18th Street in Adams-Morgan, has recently opened, with a grand opening set for Saturday September 26th.
