About BuilderScrap
Builderscrap is a completely free website for the construction trade, set up by builders for builders, that aims to facilitate contact between different trades people and help them to use up surplus in the supply chain. It provides an outlet to encourage reuse of material that would otherwise be thrown away. It is a way for the industry to work together to reduce the amount of builders’ waste sent to landfill.
DEFRA statistics show that over 90 million tonnes of construction and demolition waste is produced every year in England and Wales, making up approximately 25% of total waste. At least 13 million tonnes of this refuse is said to be surplus, new material; most of which could be reused, and a further large proportion is second hand product which could also potentially be reused, or recycled. Builderscrap aims to provide a platform for builders and others in the trade to reduce the amount sent to landfill by utilising each others surplus where possible. The benefits to using this free and easy service include:
- Cost savings – lower disposal charges (fewer skips, landfill tax and labour)
- Cost savings – reduces the need to buy new material
- Help save the environment – less waste sent to landfill, lower carbon emissions
- Potential revenue generation from sale of goods
- Improved company perception and standing
- Be part of a dynamic new brand encouraging the trade to think and act differently
