Where can I get rid of one hundred 55-gallon drums (super clean) a month?
There are a number of options, according to Karyn Kaplan, recycling coordinator for the University of Oregon. For example, you can:
- Ask the supplier that originally shipped them to you to take them back when they are empty.
- Donate them to a local non-profit reuse center.
- Put an advertisement in a local paper for free barrels.
- Locate a materials exchange nearest you and list the items. Materials exchanges are computerized matching services for those seeking or disposing of surplus or waste materials. Exchanges are located throughout the U.S. One example is the Northwest Materials Exchange.
- Check with your state’s department of environmental quality for suggestions.
- Talk to the school district to see whether they can be used in the classroom.
