Collection of clip has historically been a complex and expensive project.  In 2007 AFCNA began actively promoting Regional Clip Collection centers by subsidizing part or all of the shipping costs.  Freight (as opposed to shipping) charges are 50% or more less, but require much larger minimum weight, and must meet certain packaging requirements.

Regional Clip Collection centers are organized and operated by volunteers.  AFCNA staff assists with arranging freight, including contracting with shippers and arranging pick-up times.

The "Members Only" area of this website (available when you are logged in) provides access to AFCNA members and a discussion forum to assist with communication and organization issues for those organizing a Regional Clip Collection center.
