ABOUT THE PROGRAM

the Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation ( RIRRC ) has developed the ResourceXchange to provide a free service and resource for the business community. Through the ResourceXchange on-line database, and by actively researching and pursuing reuse and recycling options, links are created between:

  1. businesses, non-profits, educational institutions, and government agencies that have a surplus of waste materials, and
  2. those that may have a use for these materials.
The Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation also recomends that businesses and organizations that register with the ResourceXchange also register for the EPA program " WasteWise ", a business service provided by the US Environmental Protection Agency.

How This Program Helps You

The ResourceXchange can assist you, and ultimately your bottom line, by:

1) reducing recurring disposal costs
2) finding reusable items and feedstock materials at little to no cost
3) mitigating storage and staff expenses
4) enhancing the environmental image of companies

The end result is that your expenses go down, your image is enhanced, and the amount of discards entering the landfill is reduced thereby minimizing environmental impact.
