Stardust Building Supplies receives Sustainable Scottsdale Award

The Scottsdale Environmental Advisory Commission recognized Stardust Building Supplies as the 2026 Sustainable Scottsdale Award honoree.

The award recognizes exceptional environmental contributions and advancements by individuals or entities that positively impact the Scottsdale community, according to a press release from the City of Scottsdale.

The non-profit was recognized for its deconstruction program, which diverts usable building materials from landfills and makes them available for reuse. As an alternative to traditional demolition, Stardust’s team carefully disassembles and salvages high-quality, usable materials from houses and businesses before renovation or teardown, for a nominal fee. Recovered materials such as cabinetry, lighting, doors, windows, plumbing fixtures and appliances are then sold at substantial discounts to the public at two Valley reuse centers. Stardust also partners with contractors and welcomes property owners to self-remove materials for drop-off or pick-up.

To date, the organization has diverted more than 100 million pounds of construction material from the landfill since its inception.
