Empowering Sustainability through Innovation and Collaboration: The 2024 EREF Auction

The Environmental Research & Education Foundation (EREF) is pleased to announce its Annual Charitable Auction for 2024, an event designed to propel the Foundation's mission: advancing sustainable materials management practices and fostering a circular economy. Once again, the event will have a hybrid format, featuring a Live Auction complemented by a virtual Silent Auction, broadening the scope of participation and engagement.

The Live Auction promises an array of sought-after products and exclusive opportunities to engage with industry leaders. Participants will be able to gather on May 8th, at Waste Expo at 3:00PDT in Booth #653 to connect, share insights, and contribute to EREF's mission in real-time. The virtual Silent Auction offers a diverse collection of items from equipment and unique experiences to sports memorabilia and collector’s items. The Silent Auction will be accessible from anywhere in the world via the online platform GiveSmart. All Live Auction items will be available to preview on GiveSmart leading up to the auction, but bidding will be in-person only.
