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.
