More about Contributions

The Massachusetts Materials Exchange has been established through public and private grants. The support of participants is needed to ensure that this service continues.

Participants are asked to contribute an amount you determine, typically 20% or more of the savings achieved by using the Materials Exchange. Here are some guidelines to help you:

If a business takes your material and: Then you contribute 20% of your:
you were discarding it disposal savings
you were discarding it, and recipient pays you disposal savings & revenue
you were not discarding it, and recipient pays you revenue
If you receive material and: Then you contribute 20% of your
you pay less than you normally pay for that material purchasing savings

Also consider any savings in storage costs or staff time and value created by meeting corporate community/environmental goals.

To help you contribute, we would be glad to invoice your company for an amount that you determine. Another option is to contribute to this service by writing a check to CET. Please consult your accountant to determine whether or not your contribution can be considered tax-exempt. CET is a non-profit 501-c(3) corporation.

To request an invoice, please contact us at billing@MaterialsExchange.org or (413) 586-7350 and specify your company name, the material exchanged, and the amount of the invoice.

Checks should be payable to CET and sent to:
