How
it works - p. 2 of 2
We
continually ask you what you need from a reuse service and evolve Excess
Access based on what you say:
Donors:
-You want a quick, easy way to see if anyone out there wants your stuff
before you have it hauled away to the dump. You feel a little guilty about
chucking things that are perfectly good, but you're in a time pinch.
-You wouldn't
know where to start searching for whomever, near you, might need exactly
what you have available.
-You'd like
stuff picked-up at your convenience. And would appreciate a tax-deductible
receipt.
Nonprofits
/ Recipients:
-You are understaffed and overworked, so searching for what you need isn't
going to happen very often. But you'd welcome email alerts with subject
titles showing what's available near you that matches you wish list.
-You feel
awkward refusing unwanted donations, so a double blind "potential
matching" system allows for you to ignore gifts when they aren't
a match or you just don't have time to look that day.
At Excess Access:
This website
is continually under development to be as helpful as possible. If you
encounter any problems, please do not hesitate to email
us.
We reserve the right to pull and delete any offensive or illegal donations
/ wishes. The staff continually reviews postings although matching is
automatic.
For more
information please also check out our FAQ
page. Or you can proceed directly to Register
/ Sign up.
