California Materials Exchange (CalMAX)

CalMAX’s mission is to build reuse markets for materials from businesses, organizations, industry, schools, and individuals, and to find markets for nonhazardous materials that may otherwise be discarded.

CalMAX is a simple idea: "One business' trash is another business' treasure." Businesses, industry, schools, and nonprofits can use CalMAX to search for available and wanted materials.

The commercial sector contributes 60 percent of the materials going to landfills. By reusing materials, the commercial sector conserves energy, resources, landfill space, and reduces disposal and purchasing costs. CalMAX is one tool to help jurisdictions, businesses, and organizations find alternatives to the disposal of valuable materials.

• In CalMAX, you can search for ads statewide or by region.
• To post an ad, you first need to establish an account.
