Recylcing service goes regional
Recyclers in the Rocky Mountain West will soon have
the opportunity to link up by computer. RecycleNet, an electronic
bulletin board based in Colorado, plans to expand services this
summer to Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, Utah, Arizona and New
Mexico, thanks to a $10,000 federal grant. The service encourages
those in hands-on, day-to-day recycling programs to share
information and resources, says RecycleNet coordinator Kari
Anderson. To help markets grow for recyclable materials, the
bulletin board lists nationwide programs for exchanging materials
and provides a database of companies that buy recyclable materials
and supply equipment. RecycleNet includes a classified section and
an e-mail message center. Colorado recyclers may connect to
RecycleNet via modem direct dial 303/620-4096. Use standard
settings: 8 databits, 1 stopbit, no parity. For out-of-state phone
numbers or more information, contact Kari Anderson at the Colorado
Office of Energy Conservation, 303/620-4292.
