Waste Exchanges
In response to our clients' feedback, EMAP partners with IWasteNot to offer three free, on-line waste exchanges, to help clients with items to dispose of connect with clients that have need of those items.
- Pennsylvania Material Trader
- Pennsylvania Manure Trader
- Pennsylvania Biomass Trader
Material Trader
The Pennsylvania Material Trader is a free, on-line waste exchange offered to help promote the exchange of reusable materials which have traditionally been discarded.
Operating under the premise that what may be “trash” to one company may be “treasure” to another, companies with surplus or by-product materials can use Material Trader to connect with other businesses or organizations who can reuse these materials productively.
Material Trader helps businesses reduce their disposal, purchasing and production costs.
Who should use Material Trader?
- Any business, industry, institution or organization seeking used items or feedstock materials, or
- Those same companies with surplus materials that are potentially reusable, but hold little to no value for them (ie overruns, seconds, outdated inventory, empty containers…)
How does it work?
To submit materials, simply register or log on to www.materialtrader.org, review the categories available, and create your listing accordingly. Searching for materials is even easier; browse or use the search function to find what you’re looking for.

Manure Trader
The Pennsylvania Manure Trader is a free, on-line waste exchange offered to help promote the exchange of reusable materials which have traditionally been discarded.
In 2007, Act 38 and resulting regulations dictated that excess manure may no longer be used where it is produced. With over 55,000 farms producing over 16 million tons of manure each year, Pennsylvania farmers needed a solution.
EMAP partnered with the Pennsylvania State Conservation Commission, to provide such a solution. Pennsylvania manure Trader is a free website available to anyone seeking to buy, sell or give away manure.
