Where the wood goes
Nothing is wasted
We provide a waste wood collection service for local building sites and recycle the wood. We sell wood for DIY and make beautiful and useful wood products in our workshops. Any wood that can’t be used is chipped for bio-fuel. Recycling reduces use of virgin timber and avoids emissions from landfill.

And it does something else
Your skip money funds the work
We are a social enterprise and a not-for-profit — everything we earn gets ploughed back into what we do. We’ve had some grant funding, gifts and loans, but we aim to become self-supporting from the revenues we earn. We expect much of this to come from fees paid for wood collections, and we are seeking to grow this activity rapidly.
Wood diverted from landfill
Waste wood from local building sites is re-used, sold on for DIY, made into products, or chipped for bio-fuel. Recycling reduces use of virgin timber and avoids emissions from landfill.
A real work environment
People who cannot access the job market at present get the chance to gain experience, confidence and useful skills for the future.
A supportive team
No previous experience needed, part-time is fine, and all equipment and training is provided.
Every penny reinvested
A not-for-profit: everything we earn gets ploughed back into what we do.
