Recycling as much debris as possible has become part of the process of demolishing structures in this day and age. Some items taken from buildings, such as steel, wood and concrete, are in high demand and command fairly nice prices. Then there are items left behind that the demolition contractor can salvage and sell. Pat Clauss, owner of Clauss Construction in Lakeside, removed a pair of wood and glass doors that once served as the entrance to Steve Wynns art collection at the Desert Inn in Las Vegas. The doors, including frames with inlaid gold, and magnificent beveled glass designs, were installed at his new Lakeside office, along with glass sconces retrieved from the same project. At several sites he has found workable heavy equipment and other machinery easily sold, or re-used by the company.
