**We are not a free wood collection service, but an eco-friendly and economical alternative to a skip**
For domestic collections, we charge £19.20 per cubic yard - 4 cubic yards is our minimum collection. For commercial collections, we charge £16 per cubic yard - 4 cubic yards also being the minimum.
We will:
Arrive within 48 hours of being notified.
Be correctly licensed and insured and supply Waste Transfer Notes.
Have trained staff with CSCS cards and the correct PPE.
Provide quality Environmental Reports and Certificates of Recycling.
Collect all waste wood or wooden items — regardless of size or condition.
WHY USE US?
Newcastle Wood Recycling CIC is a not-for-profit social enterprise on a mission to divert wood from the local waste stream.
We offer a cost-effective and efficient wood recycling service region-wide.
All waste timber is collected in our caged transit tippers within 48 hours of being notified.
SAVE MONEY!
We can save you money on your waste disposal costs. We charge per cubic yard of wood taken and we’re cheaper than skips.
We pack our cages really tightly so you don’t get the void space (up to 40%) that you do with a skip, so you save again. You only pay for what we take away, so our service can work out to be 20% to 30% cheaper than using a typical builder’s skip.
Whatever size skip you use to dispose of your wood waste, give us a call to find out how we can reduce your costs!
BE GOOD TO THE ENVIRONMENT
Prevent perfectly good wood from being chipped or sent to landfill. Every piece of wood that we collect is graded for reuse, unlike wood which is put into a skip and landfilled or at best “downcycled” into woodchip.
The majority of the wood we collect is able to be reused for DIY, to make wooden products, or to be chopped up and sold for firewood.
By joining the many professionals across the country who are now disposing of their waste wood in this way, you can contribute to a greener environment by helping to save tons of reusable wood being sent to landfill.
HELP CREATE JOBS
Using us instead of a skip not only saves you money and is better for the environment, but it also supports the creation of volunteering and training opportunities to people facing barriers to work. Many of our volunteers move on into paid employment after completing their training.
HOW IT WORKS
Having your wood collected by us won’t create any extra work for you. It’s simple! Register on the scheme, pile up your wood waste in a suitable location and when there's about a skip load, give us a call and we will come and collect it.
