Sources of supplies

The main source of most frequently used supplies is listed below. Purchasing of supplies can't be based solely on the "cheapest" price. We must, first, adhere to our mission of efficient e-waste. This means bio-degradable as well as those products made from recycled materials. Where ever possible, sales should be utilized as well as "bulk" purchasing if it is cost efficient.
