Lister Responsibilities and Guidelines

1.  A lister must be 18 years of age to post items on Irving’s Material Exchange.

2.  Once listing is sent to Irving’s Material Exchange, you will receive an acknowledgement within 48 hours, Monday through Friday (except for City recognized holidays), that you have a successful post, or that additional information is needed. If you post on Friday or over the weekend, you will receive an acknowledgement by close of the next business day within 48 hours of posting, typically Tuesday, unless Tuesday is a city observed holiday.

3.  Irving’s Material Exchange Administrator will review all listings before they appear on Irving’s Material Exchange Web site. Provide accurate, detailed and conditional information about item(s) being listed to help interested parties determine the feasibility and personal value to them. Upon initial review by Irving’s Material Exchange Administrator, you may be requested to provide additional information about the item that you posted.

Do not email a photograph(s) of the item(s) you are listing. Due to photo restrictions, Irving’s Material Exchange Administrator will contact you regarding specific photo needs. Once submitted, the photograph(s) will only be accepted upon review and qualification by the administrator.

You can edit your listing, if necessary, to furnish additional information about an item that has been posted.  To do this you MUST contact Irving’s Material Exchange Administrator at MaterialExchange@cityofirving.org

4.  A lister will be required to complete specific areas of information such as name, address, email address, and telephone numbers. Irving’s Material Exchange will not release this information to any party under any circumstances. Anyone interested in your listing will only be able to post a message to you through the email that you submit to Irving’s Material Exchange. Irving’s Material Exchange, City of Irving and Solid Waste Services will not know if you and the responder are communicating. Responses to listings go only to the lister directly, excluding Irving’s Material Exchange, City of Irving and Solid Waste Services Department. 

Additionally, you will be required to assess a weightto the item(s) that you are listing. Irving’s Material Exchange will not allow you to be a lister without this information. Please be as accurate as possible. This information is pertinent to Solid Waste Services’ ability to calculate tons reused and diverted from the landfill.

5.  Interested parties will decide on arrangements for transfer of goods. All terms of transfer must be arranged between the two parties and conform to existing state and city laws and/or ordinances.

6.  Report successful exchanges. We measure number of successful transactions, quantity of material diverted from the landfill, types of material exchanged and date listed and date exchanged.

7.  If listing is time sensitive, please put expiration date on listing. All items listed will automatically expire 30 days from the listing date and will be removed from Irving’s Material Exchange Web site listing.

8.  You must update Irving’s Material Exchange if listing is no longer valid due to item being exchanged, decided to keep item, or disposed of through waste collection.
