COOPERATIVE PURCHASING
|
The
cooperative purchasing program allows the NRRA's membership to
purchase supplies and equipment commonly used in the collection
and processing of recyclables. The NRRA offers its membership discounted
purchasing opportunities on the following items:
|
| ClearStreamTM
Recyclers: The NRRA through New Hampshire the Beautiful (NHtB) can offer New Hampshire members a way to capture more of
those pesky single-serve containers. The ClearStreamTM
Recycler is designed to discourage contamination while handily collecting
aluminum cans and PETE bottles. Contact the NRRA to learn more about these
units which are great for public buildings and special events or select an

Gripples: Inadequately tied bales do not hold together
during loading and transport, but there is now a tool available to NRRA
members that solves that problem: the Gripple. By slipping each end of
the baling wire through the Gripple, a device originally designed for use
in the fencing industry, operators can quickly and easily apply the Gripple
Tool to tighten down the wire. Please contact the NRRA today to order your Gripple starter kit!
|
Baling Wire: With many of our members using balers
to "condense" their recycables prior to marketing, the availability
of quality, inexpensive baling wire is a necessity! The NRRA offers
its membership quality baling wire, at fantastically low prices, that
can be shipped directly to facilities!

Backyard Compost Bin Sale! The NRRA has teamed up with
Norseman Plastics to offer the Earth Machine Home Composters through
an annual "Backyard Compost Bin Sale". The Sale is coordinated much
like a Girl Scout cookie sale in that the NRRA coordinates the sale
on a regional basis while local groups or organizations coordinate the
Sale in their area by promoting it, taking orders and collecting checks.
Organizing groups can use this Sale as a fundraiser and earn $5 per bin.
The Sale runs from Jan to May of each year. The sale has ended for 2008, but we still have Compost Bins and kitchen pails available at our office. If you are interested in ordering,
fill out this
order form and mail or fax it (603)736-4402 to our office.

Non-Roadworthy Storage Trailers and Ground Level Containers:
One common trend found at transfer stations/recycling centers throughout
the Northeast is their lack of suitable storage space. One inexpensive
solution to this problem is to use non-roadworthy trailers or ground
level containers for storage of collected material.
