Excess Access: "linking surplus goods with nonprofit
needs"

San Francisco, CA Excess Access may be leading the way
for the next wave of successful dot-coms. Tiny but
tough, this 4 year old garage-based company continues
to thrive even in this new economic climate, by
providing a vital service to organizations that are
struggling to stay solvent.

The recent wave of downsizing in the tech industry has
left a wake of unwanted computers, chairs, and other
office supplies as well as household goods. Although
unfortunate for the businesses and uprooted families,
this surplus happens to exactly meet the urgent needs
of another affected sector: nonprofit organizations.
However, all too often the goods end up in dumpsters,
due to lack of communication between potential donors
and recipients.

Excess Access offers the obvious solution by using the
internet to connect needy nonprofits with nearby
businesses who have surplus items. Nonprofits pick up
goods that match their "wish lists." Businesses are
provided with free disposal as well as tax write-offs.
Everybody wins!

The simple effectiveness of this service is catching
on in cities around the U. S. This year, Excess Access
has redirected more than 200 tons of useful materials!


Nonprofit organizations as well as businesses and
individual households with surplus can all subscribe
to this online matching service, at
