Green Project

Founded in 1994, The Green Project has been cultivating a culture of creative reuse in New Orleans. We achieve this by diverting usable materials from landfills and educating the community about the importance of preserving resources.

Salvations '24

Our flagship program, Salvations '24, promotes the reuse of materials by offering a safe and affordable way for residents to dispose of usable paint. Diverting paint from landfills not only protects local ecosystems but also saves residents money.

Get Involved

There are numerous ways to get involved with The Green Project. Volunteer your time at our salvage store, where you can help sort and organize materials. You can also join our environmental education program to learn more about sustainable practices and the importance of resource conservation.

Resources

As a non-profit organization, The Green Project relies on the generosity of our community for funding and resources. We welcome donations of gently used materials and provide recycling guides to help residents properly dispose of various items.

Donate Back

Your support is vital to our mission. By making a financial donation, you can directly fund our environmental education programs, paint recycling initiatives, and outreach efforts.

Since our humble beginnings, The Green Project has reclaimed over 2 million pounds of materials, recycled 40,000 gallons of paint, and educated over 700 local students and residents.
