Waste Exchanges
The Environment Agency
The Environment Agency operate a Waste Exchange
(www.waste-exchange.org)
which can be freely accessed by the public.
Materials are placed in a number of categories. The categories are
fairly broad - for example "paper and card" presumably covers office paper,
newsprint and card.
When a category is selected, further details appear, four at a time
giving a desciption of the material available and a contact telephone
number. No indication is given of the location of the material.
The number of entries appears to be fairly limited. At the time of visitng
the "paper and card" category contained six entries.
Proposed Characteristics of a Waste Exchange
Free to all users - both those proposing waste materials and those who are
looking to reuse waste materials.
Postive effort to involve small-scale users and link with household waste
recycling.
Overall statistical summery of numbers of producers and potential users
of waste - types and quantities.
Clear indication of location of producers and potential users - automatic
proximity checking using OS coordinates or other system - waste exchange
plays and active role in encouraging exchanges.
