Sure, you think it's junk, but others may see the value in your business waste. A commercial materials exchange can help keep your cast-offs out of landfills. #businesswaste   #materialsexhange   #reuse  
Your Business Waste May Be Worth Something
sustainablog.org
The commercial materials exchange takes business waste from one place, and offers it for sale or use to organizations or other businesses that need it.
