repurposedINQUIRY: “Hello Mr. Carson, I work for the Hazardous Waste Section of the US Marines at Camp Pendleton, California. I have seen your website and find it interesting. Currently do you do any business with Government entities? Also, where and with what kind of materials do you deal with them?” Nancy

RE: Nancy, 1) Yes, we help a number of federal, state, and local governments keep stuff our of the landfills! 2) We deal with all types of durable goods and chemistry/products that are obsolete to the primary industry that we think can be “repurposed” into a second, unrelated industry.
