On Earth Day, Better Futures Minnesota deconstructs a home in Floyd Lake area, Becker County, for the first time, reusing materials instead of demolishing.

For Earth Day, a Minnesota nonprofit, Better Futures Minnesota, will deconstruct a home in Floyd Lake area, marking the first such project in Becker County. This eco-friendly process involves taking apart buildings and reusing their components, instead of demolishing them. About 50 deconstructions occur annually in Minnesota, and items from this project will be brought to the Reuse Center at the Becker County solid waste campus in Detroit Lakes.
