Recycle surplus building materials online

Posted: 29/01/2007

Two new websites aim to provide an online green shopping experience. The first sets out to provide a green solution to the building trade’s burgeoning problem of surplus building materials. The new online marketplace is dedicated to selling surplus, new, used, or salvaged building stock/materials, to trade and DIY enthusiasts across the UK.

With a lengthy list of categories, WhatDoIDoWithThis.com makes it simple to buy and sell items, and includes everything from masonry to kitchens and plant and machinery to roofing.

The website aims to encourage builders to recycle their surplus materials, potentially allowing the sellers to make a profit on their unwanted stock.

Sellers on the site can:
 Sell products easily, through the specialised account area.
 Reach new customers.
 Increase (company) brand awareness.
 Edit their listing at any time.
 Enjoy speed and simplicity of a well designed website.

George Colwell, Managing Director, says: “The construction industry recognises that much of the waste on a site can be saved or reused, and is under increasing pressure to adopt recycling waste procedures. The launch of our new website bridges the gap between the industry looking for environmental solutions to its surplus stock and DIY consumers looking for premium materials at competitive prices.”

With the spiralling cost of disposing of surplus materials, WhatDoIDoWithThis.com could turn a problem into a profit. Special Launch offer - 50% off all listing prices. For more information go to www.wdidwt.com

THE GREEN PROVIDERS DIRECTORY

Second new website - The Green Providers Directory is a free and easy to use service founded by Dr Gary Robertshaw. Its aim is to help customers search for green providers, with links to 100s of goods and services including gifts, gadgets, fair trade clothing, renewable energy and lots more. Most of the goods listed are unique and cannot be bought in the shops.

The Directory also provides news updates, blogs, advice and information on the environment, plus tips on recycling, renewable energy and related topics. You can also register to receive their free newsletter. For more information go to www.search-for-me.co.uk.
