It is called Building Value, LLC., on Gilbert Avenue. They have a "deconstruction" team that comes and takes the materials out, then provides a reciept of material, that is tax deductable. These types of companies are fantastic both for people who need materials for construction jobs at reasonable costs, keeping materials out of landfills and the proceeds go to a non-profit organization. I encourange any one to come out to Ohio and check it out. We have a place just like this in Cincinnati, Ohio.

I just wanted to mention that Whole House Building Supply & Salvage in Palo Alto (http://www.driftwoodsalvage.com/) provides reuse salvage service for the SF South Bay and Peninsula. Although they have a store/warehouse, they reduce some of the hauling and storage overhead by holding "salvage sales": they photograph and catalog materials from properties slated for demolition/salvage prior to the salvage event and post the information to their website. Informed by the current salvage sale listed on the website, people shopping for specific fixtures and building materials can show up and take those materials away. The folks at Whole House still do all the actual dismantling. Cheers! Hi Cassie,
