“repurposed”INQUIRY: “Hello Mr. Carson, I work for the Hazardous Waste Section of the US Marines at Camp Pendleton, California. I have seen your website and find it interesting. Currently do you do any business with government entities? Also, where and with what kind of materials do you deal with them?” – Nancy
RE: Nancy, 1) Yes, we help a number of federal, state, and local governments keep stuff out of the landfills! 2) We deal with all types of durable goods and chemistry/products that are obsolete to the primary industry that we think can be “repurposed” into a second, unrelated industry.
Q: Can we help your organization with obsolete powders or liquids…chemistry, ingredients, product, etc.? If yes, send us details about what you have. Email Us!
