Now that we are well into the computer age, using e-mail, websites and listserves for information exchange has become almost commonplace. There are examples of good listserves currently being operated and widely utilized, such as EPA's JRTNet (Jobs Through Recycling Network), where market development professionals can share ideas and answer questions.  

ReDO's Reuse Forum is a wonderful opportunity to share ideas, questions, and information! This on-line forum enables subscribers to pose questions, and "converse" with other subscribers who provide input or answers. Unlike other on-line forums, however, the Reuse Forum is  the only place monitored by ReDO's expert staff and board to help get answers to almost all of your questions about reuse.  

The field of reuse is growing in many new, exciting areas, such as building materials, office equipment, recovered food, medical equipment and others. The "nuts and bolts" of making reuse happen in your community are often available only through conversations with others who are also trying to do it. The fact is that much of this information has yet to be published and not otherwise available anywhere. ReDO's Reuse Forum allows all those interested in reuse to help each other make more reuse happen faster. ReDO's board and staff will identify common questions and begin organizing research to get the answers you need. This way, we can be sure that operators do not "reinvent the wheel" when starting and expanding their reuse operation. Through the Reuse Forum, we can learn about the day-to-day successes and avoid the pitfalls experienced by other operations. Only ReDO has the resources available to fill this information gap in the reuse community. 

Join the ReDO Reuse Forum today, and take advantage of this valuable benefit. As part of your annual membership qualified subscribers can participate, "listen", or gain never before available knowledge about their reuse area of interest!

Simply subscribe online or print out and complete the membership form and mail or fax it to ReDO—or you can contact the ReDO office at 410/588-3625 or at info@redo.org for more information.
