The Vermont Business Materials Exchange (VBMX) is a free service that seeks to reduce waste by promoting the exchange of reusable commercial materials. Through VBMX, companies with surplus or by-product materials connect with other businesses or individuals who can reuse these materials productively. While businesses save money on disposal fees, they also reduce their impact on the environment.
The Freecycle Network is made up of 4,882 groups with 6,933,000 members across the globe. It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (and getting) stuff for free in their own towns. It's all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills. Each local group is moderated by a local volunteer (them's good people). Membership is free.
