Recycling/Reuse Opportunities
CONSUMERS
The Freecycle Network (often abbreviated TFN) is non-profit organization registered in the state of Arizona, USA, that organizes a worldwide network of "gifting" groups, aiming to divert reusable goods from landfill. It provides a worldwide online registry, and coordinates the creation of local groups and forums for individuals and non-profits to offer and receive free items for reuse or recycling, promoting gift economics as a motivating cultural outlook. "Changing the world one gift at a time" is The Freecycle Network's official tagline.

INDUSTRY
Oklahoma is now a member of the Resource Exchange for Eliminating Waste (Renew). This tool is designed to allow business, industrial or manufacturing facilities to exchange materials that would otherwise be disposed. RENEW allows you to see materials available at a facility, or post your own materials. Facilities that post materials can avoid disposal costs, and possibly reduce their regulatory burden. Searching available materials helps you find items for your facility at a reduced cost, often free. Please spread the word about Oklahoma’s participation in RENEW!
