All joking aside about how the only thing Irene hurt was your Saturday night plans, we know at least a few people who took some real storm damage. Before you go running over to Home Depot, check out this odd bit of philanthropy: Carroll Gardens Patch reports that Gownaus-based Film Biz Recycling is offering free materials to anyone who suffered storm damage. You could refit your apartment with some of the furniture, lumber, paint, props and other items the company reclaims from the sets of big-budget Hollywood flicks. Film Biz’s Jane Borock tells Patch”If materials are needed, it’s yours for pretty much free, without the red tape.” Neat! To find out more, email [email protected] or stop by 540 President St.
