Because I am me, I have belonged to the Ohio Materials Marketplace for years.
It was an
online forum, run by the Ohio EPA, where Ohio companies could post things they wanted to give away rather than dispose of in
land fills.
Apparently, much like many
local municipality run auction sites, they have stopped doing it as a nation wide website has eclipsed them.
Rheaply is that website.
I've found some things local to me, like a source for 5 dollar IBC totes in Middleton, Ohio.
