The Great Exchange is an award winning program that facilitates the transition from a take – make – waste linear economy to a more efficient circular economy by keeping resources in use and providing opportunities to regenerate them in a new service life. The program helps divert an average of 50,000 pounds of valuable materials from the landfill each year with the added benefits of avoided disposal cost, community stewardship and environmental protection.

This program facilitates new use opportunities for operating supplies, classroom and creative materials, office furniture, and small fixtures in new and like new condition, at its location in Devens, MA. Recovered items are made available with significant discounts for the benefit of community organizations, daycare facilities, schools, libraries, municipal departments, nonprofits, small businesses, and other entities.

We invite you to explore The Great Exchange’s dedicated website where you can learn more, view photos of current inventory, and plan a time to come shop.
