the forum has kindly offered a group site, Easy is working hard on logistics and goals, ddherik, has offered a web site. you will get very tired of hearing me say this but if we dont stand together, it wont be long before none but biggist will be standing at all.

I see several functions of the association, from education and safety to, raising our standing in the community.



I dont want to put the 1 800 guys or the big yards out of business, I admire their euntrapranerial gamesmenship. I just want us all to be able to compeat on a level playing field.

we need to come up with a name, three have been offered, 1. AIR- Association of independent recyclers. 2. AIRE - Association of Independent recycling engineers. forgot the third one but it was my suggestion any way so it dosent matter. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

We need to come up with standards/code of ethics/regulations or what ever we want to call them. (personally the word Regulation sends shivers up and down my spine) but thats just me, I will go with what ever the group decides. what we want is regulation that are fair to the biggist and the smallest, suggestions can be posted here or sent to Dumpster Dee. We are currently forming a temporary exploritory commite, so volinteers, with knowledge in any area of our industry, are needed and welcomed, those of us who are putting this together are temporary members. my suggestion is to hold elections once we have it all together and have a panel consisting of one member of each aspect of our industry, including one from the forum to guide us in marketing and promotion.
