Building tradesmen in Swindon can now find out how to save money the easy way - thanks to a new range of free guides from Envirowise.
Decorators, bricklayers, carpenters and labourers are all catered for in the factsheets, which help workers identify the day-to-day waste they might be producing - along with practical guidance on how to cut down and save money.
Paul Gilbert, Envirowise regional manager for the South West, said: "Waste might not be a high priority for many sole traders across the region, yet reducing it is one of the easiest ways to save money - and this is where these factsheets can help. We are keen to make it clear that enterprises of any size can save money and help the environment by taking straightforward steps - and this includes the UK's 840,000 sole traders that are employed in the construction sector.
"Our new factsheets provide the ideal opportunity to start doing this, so I would encourage sole traders to download or order a copy and make savings right away."
In addition to the practical guidance, the new guides also highlight changes in legislation that will impact on sole traders, along with details of organisations that can offer more help and advice.
To download the factsheets free of charge, visit www.envirowise.gov.uk/construction or call the helpline to order hard copies.
