Why do Waste Exchange listings expire?

Expiry reduces stale listings and helps users distinguish current material availability from old information.

Complete answer

The answer

Material quantities, storage locations and demand can change quickly. An expiry period forces the lister to confirm that the information is still current rather than leaving obsolete offers online indefinitely.

If the material is still available or wanted, renew the listing and update quantity, specification and contact details before republishing.

What to do

  • Close a listing when the material is no longer available or wanted.
  • Renew only after confirming the details.
  • Update changed quantity, location or quality information.
