Bricks - Moderately Easy

Before you throw bricks away or into an alley or field consider recycling them or selling them for reuse. People love that old brick look and feel and are willing to pay a premium for it. The patina that forms on the bricks over time increases its value and sought after-ness. With very little effort you can sell your bricks to a private party or a contractor. Old bricks are likely to be worth more than 30 cents each!



Instructions


  1. Sort the full bricks into one pile and the chipped and half bricks into another. You may only be able to sell the full bricks
  2. Post an ad on craigslist and local classifieds selling the brick, pictures help!
  3. Contact local contractors and stonemasons and offer your pile of bricks for sale.
  4. Once you have a few offers, compare them and choose the one that would best work for you.
  5. If for any reason you are unable to sell your bricks contact a non-profit organization such as Habitat for Humanity and donate them. Don't forget to get a receipt for your donation, it is a tax deduction!
