About Us

The Minnesota Materials Exchange program is a free service that links organizations that have reusable goods they no longer need to those who can use them. By providing a business reuse network, the Materials Exchange program helps prevent usable materials from becoming waste.

In the last five years, the Materials Exchange program has helped businesses save over $7 million and exchange over 30 million pounds of material.

Benefits
Use the Materials Exchange program to:

  • Receive low or no-cost materials
  • Reduce disposal and purchase costs
  • Free-up storage space
  • Find markets for your surplus materials

Disclaimer
The Materials Exchange program reserves the right to list only business-related items and to deny access to those who abuse the system. Please read our disclaimer for the other limitations of our program.

The Minnesota Materials Exchange program is coordinated by the Minnesota Technical Assistance Program (MnTAP). MnTAP, a nonregulatory program that helps businesses reduce waste, is funded primarily by a pass-through grant from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's Prevention and Assistance Division to the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, Division of Environmental Health Sciences.
