We reduce the solid waste stream and change the way the built environment is renewed by salvaging building materials and distributing them for reuse. Since 1993, architects, contractors, building owners and federal, state, and local governments have relied on TRP to keep reusable and recyclable building materials out of overburdened landfills. When a building is de-constructed (rather than demolished), up to 80 percent of the materials can be salvaged and channeled back into the marketplace through donations and sales at TRP's network of retail outlets.

How We Got Started
Report
The flood relief drive, known as Project Valle Verde, was planned and coordinated with the mayors of Tijuana and San Diego, the San Diego Chamber of Commerce, the County Board of Supervisors, San Diego Gas and Electric Company, Waste Management, and the Building Industry Association. Twenty-seven tractor trailers carrying this material crossed the border in an unprecedented demonstration of bi-national cooperation and assistance.
Our Team
Report
Prior to founding TRP in 1995, Ted was managing partner with an investment banking firm that provided financial services to young technology companies. Now, in addition to guiding TRP's national expansion program, he consults with private companies and government bodies on a variety of demolition and waste diversion projects.
Deconstruction
Report
Deconstruction is an environmentally-friendly alternative to demolition. Trained deconstruction crews carefully deconstruct the building to salvage as many of the reusable materials as possible, diverting them from local landfills. Salvaged items typically include doors, windows, cabinets, lighting and plumbing fixtures, framing lumber, roofing materials and flooring.
Retail
Report
After a building is deconstructed, the salvaged materials are delivered to one of several TRP regional warehouses, which are open to the public. Here you can find quality used materials and appliances at great prices. By buying used, you save both money and the environment. For up-to-date information on current specials and new items, follow our Oakland warehouse Facebook page.
