By automatically matching these parties via the internet, unwanted materials can be efficiently passed on or sourced - either once or as an ongoing arrangement. It delivers real financial savings for businesses, organisations and individuals and keeps potentially useful materials in circulation. Register for free today! ******* Additional funding received from Bedfordshire County Council allows for provision of on-site support to help Bedfordshire businesses save money by assisting them to reduce their waste.
