The MassRecycle Forum

The MassRecycle Forum is a hybrid listserv which unlike a traditional listserv, acts as an information repository searchable by

all members of the public.

MassRecycle members have the benefit of contributing to the forum with information and questions pertinent to recycling and waste

reduction.
