NOTE: Optional. Please indicate when registering whether you will participate.

Does your business generate "stuff" that is currently thrown away but may be of use to someone else? Bring ONE item and we'll try to identify an alternative use! Leftover inventories, manufacturing byproducts, imperfect finished goods and packaging materials can be rused by other businesses, municipalities, schools and art groups. For ideas, check out the results from the Devens "Great Exchange" at http://www.ecostardevens.com/index_files/Page1867.htm
