Adam's generousity helped us with many parts and pieces on this makeover. This family owned business Architectural Clearinghouse, dates back to 1988 when it was formed as a demolition/retail company. It wasn't long before there was an enormous amount of reusable building materials being diverted away from landfill and into our retail store. So much in fact, that the company had to move from its original north side location to the south side on Gateway Blvd where it grew for the next 17 years.

During this time, the environmentally conscious recycling movement spread across Canada with many more businesses doing demolition with an eye to redirecting usable materials from landfill.

Today, from our location in central Edmonton, Architectural Clearinghouse operates primarily as a retail outlet for new and used building materials. Our ever changing inventory comes from demolition & construction companies, businesses with excess new material, and the invaluable contributions from our customers.

As trailblazers in the Canadian recycling movement, we at Architectural Clearinghouse are proud of our continuing commitment to reduce, reuse and recycle, thus helping to create a greener future.
