OFFLOADIT was founded in 2020 by contractors who wanted a fast, efficient, and reliable way to buy and sell construction materials and equipment while reducing the amount of waste produced on a construction site. The app relies on suppliers, vendors, and contractors that want to "OFFLOAD" their excess supplies upon completion of their projects. The easy-to-use interface allows you to filter through listings based on brand, price, location, industry, and more.
OFFLOADIT's founder, Steve Silva, discovered that the statistics on construction industry waste are staggering:
Construction and Demolition Debris (C&D) accounts for up to 30% of landfill volume.
In 2013, an estimated 136 million tons of C&D were generated in the U.S.
Of this total over 87 million tons consisted of scrap building materials and other reusable items.
Surplus or left-over materials from construction sites have value, even if they are no longer needed on a particular job site. With the help of OFFLOADIT, contractors and builders can sell their excess materials and reuse things like lumber, drywall, pipe, concrete, electrical, and masonry for reuse by others.

OFFLOADIT is a green business that wants to help contribute to a sustainable future for generations indefinitely. The company offers all types of useful tools that help reduce landfill volume; their focus is on making recycling easier for anyone who works in the construction industry.
