Bradford Environmental Action Trust

Why Waste is embarking on a new venture in partnership with Construction Leeds and re'new Leeds..... 

The establishment of a Building Material Reuse Centre (BMRC) will :

• Offer a cost effective waste collection service to the construction sector

• Offer an invigorating retail experience to DIYers and small traders specialising in used/redundant building materials, fixtures and fittings

• Allow more construction waste to reused rather than 'downcycled' into lower grade products or worse still disposed of

• Provide training and volunteering opportunities

• Work with architects and designers to 're-purpose' materials into new products and small buildings - expanding on our previous Space of Waste initiative CLICK HERE FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ON SPACE OF WASTE

• Work with other social enterprises to form a network of reuse centres. 

How you can get involved:

We are interested in finding partners who want to support our expansion in the following ways:

1. Provide access to unused land (gain business rate exemption)

 2. Supply vehicles or equipment (with corporation tax benefits)

3. Fund or invest in the business model (with corporation tax benefits)

4. Join a working group - we are looking for representatives from the construction sector to participate in a working group.  Email Emma Hill for further details

5. Complete our on line survey for construction companies
BUILDING MATERIALS REUSE CENTRE - SURVEY. 

6. Tell us what you think by emailing Emma Hill - Project Manager
