Every aspect from the do-it-yourself backyard project, to major industrial undertakings have kept tons of Americans employed, and thousands of related industries buzzing.

Innovation like the services available at the online marketplace contractoryardsale.com, an outlet for buying and selling surplus and salvage building materials.

Contractor Yard Sale founder Andrew Pennington noticed an alarming trend in the way surplus materials for construction projects were handled by customers at his families building materials supply store. Pennington said, "I had always had an interest in what the construction contractors that over purchased in huge quantities, did with what they had left over". However, when he began to dig deeper, what he found was disturbing.

"Upon asking several regular customers, I realized that they simply let their surplus and salvage building materials weather in the elements, or they simply discarded them". Creating a huge waste effect. In fact, the EPA estimates construction and demolition alone, produce around 160 million tons of waste in the U.S yearly. This staggering number motivated Pennington to create contractoryardsale.com, in order to provide an outlet for the local customers in Corbin, Ky, and nationwide to re-purpose these materials.

"It is a place for contractors or even suppliers to advertise their surplus items for sale in auction or classifieds format, and for consumers to pick them up at a low price" said Pennington. "It's like an online yard sale. When you go out to browse a yard or garage sale, you don't really know what you're looking for, but you can bet that you'll find something cheap and pretty awesome."
