The Great Exchange
Who We Are
The Great Exchange is hosted by the nonprofit Devens Eco-Efficiency Center, a 501c3 organization. The program facilitates new use opportunities for operating supplies, classroom and creative materials, office furniture, and small fixtures in new and like new condition at it’s facility in Devens, MA. This innovative program started in 2007 as a one-time swap event that brought 20 businesses and non-profits in Devens together to potentially repurpose 16 materials that were routinely being thrown away. The Great Exchange now engages hundreds of municipal, not-for-profit, commercial and industrial entities throughout Massachusetts and across state lines and currently features an inventory of more than 850 different materials.
What We Do
The Great Exchange, preserves the value of materials and delivers savings from avoided disposal and purchasing costs by facilitating the reuse of unneeded items. Over 900 types of new and like new operating supplies, furniture and fixture items are currently available to schools, libraries, municipal departments, nonprofits, and small businesses.
