2022 WAS OUR 9TH YEAR IN ATLANTA!
During our August event, we received 35,141 lbs of materials and 85% of those materials were diverted from our local landfills

Sponsors helped make this event a success by donating time, the location, supplies, tables, food & drinks!
In our industry, we find ourselves creating a lot of waste from expired or unused materials collected in our finish libraries that typically end up in the landfill. So we asked, why not repurpose, or upcycle, these materials back into our community? Once unwanted materials can have a new life as free-source materials for educators and non-profit associations, or be transformed into works of art by artists and crafters.
For the 10th year, IIDA Georgia partnered with Wilsonart, OfficeWorks, & Choate Construction to bring the ZeroLandfill event to Atlanta.

Testimonials
Branda Boardman

“This is amazing! I was overwhelmed a bit the first weekend, but this weekend I came prepared! I will be back next year”
Jen
Atlanta, GA
Jen is no newbie to ZLF, she has been coming to Zerolandfill for five years in a row. She comes to find supplies for projects around her house and enjoys being creative, finding things to do with the items she picks up.
Team Jones
Decatur, GA
With four generations present, Team Jones has been coming to Zerolandfill for the past two years. They keep coming back because they “find such unique pieces, and we are a unique bunch. There is just something so much better about getting to “put something together”, rather than just picking it off of a store shelf.”
Tim & Rebecca
Atlanta, GA
As true DIY-ers, Tim & Rebecca were on the hunt for table settings and and other supplies for their upcoming wedding. This was their first year visiting ZLF and were impressed by the amount of helpful volunteers and the great selection of materials.
