Default Re: Have you ever used recycled bricks?

Don't forget that if these guys are selling them to a recycler, part of the cost involved is transport. Make a polite enquiry, "Hey, I could use a buncha those, eh? How much. I'll haul them myself." You might be pleasantly surprised what you can get them for. You might have to chip off old mortar here and there, but so what? Other than that, used materials are just as good as newbies, eh? (Canadian accent lesson for wanna be hosers.)
