Posting on the BE-Xchange is easy! Just click the blue button at the top of the page (#1) and the Posting pane opens up. The most important (and unique) feature in your posts is to determine (#2) what kind of post it is – if you’re posting to the public – for everyone, that’s easy but if you want to:
Post ONLY for nonprofits (or public schools), choose “nonprofit”.
If you want to post ONLY within your organization, choose “internal”. This is most common for higher ed, to redistribute things around campus, for retail chains who want to track products and materials that they can reuse in different locations and for construction companies who want to track different materials across different locations.
Choose “take back” if your project has ceiling tile, carpet tile or other material that qualifies for take back – but you may not have enough to meet the required quantity – you can look to see if others in your area have more. Aggregating take back materials reduces carbon emissions for transporting it and saves money for the take back operator!
