Angelia,
Congratulations on the great recycling idea and OC Register idea. May I copy the article over to my website or should I only add the link within the body of an updated post?

Let me know. I’d love to get the word out.

Angelia, i love your idea. What an “A-HA” moment. I hate waste of any kind and i applaud you for your idea and solution. Every time i have something to get rid of, i can not just simply throw it away. I say ” someone can use this, the challenge is in who, what, when, & where and how to connect.
Don’t let the “negative-Nellie’s” knock you down. Listen to their comments and say “interesting” i may need to look into that to refine your business.
wish you the best success! Lynn

Angelia Woodside-Beckstrom.

Interesting concept –

Questions -

1. Being the ‘Broker’ or ‘Brokerage Firm’, since I assume your site is a fee based site. If any Hazardous Waste is exchanged between firms, even if you don’t have direct knowledge, your firm would still be a responsible party in the handling, transporation, disposal, recordation, and proper storage of that material, correct?
2. Assuming that you are a ‘;Broker’, since your Firm has specifically stated – Only Licensed Building Contractors’, your firm is confirming that each qualified ‘User’ is in fact licensed, Insured, Bonded, insured and has hired documented, qualified workers with proper payroll and insurance records?

…,hope you got a good Attorney and high limits on your liability insurance…. Good luck.

It sounds like the site and service she has created is simply acting as a go between for people who need to get rid of stuff and people who want to find stuff. Contractors almost always have excess materials laying around after a project because they would rather order more than they need as opposed to ordering short then ordering again. Even for a small-scale contractor is going to have materials left over that can be used for something else. We had work done at our house recently and one of our neighbors would come over and pick up left-over lumber that the contractor no longer needed. He used it for shelving and planter boxes.

Angelia, this is so smart! Great concept from both sides — saving the environment & saving money. As long as there is some building activity going on, there will be a need for this, and as the economy grows again, even more valuable. And social media will be a great way for you to spread the word too. Way to go!

This is a great idea. I am an account representative for Haulaway Storage Containers and rent out containers mostly for Job sites and see alot of what is mentioned when I work out in the field.

This site is great for the small contractor. They can deal in small quantities, and even liquidate old materials that have been sitting around in their backlots for income.

There is always bulding going on. Even in a bad economy.
