Oxford Wood Recycling
This is the kind of waste timber collection which powers the heart of our enterprise, linking the work of our dedicated collection teams to the more accessible face of the firm here in Abingdon which you are all familiar with.
Over 90% of the 'waste' on this wagon has now been set aside for reuse. Disposal by a regular skip company would have seen 100% put through a chipper and probably burned!
A mix of joists and studwork timbers there's wood here ideal for all sorts of home, workshop or garden creations, available at competitive prices.
Buying from us helps reduce waste in local industry, supports disadvantaged people in your local community, and makes home improvement projects more affordable into the bargain.

Bursting with colour and unique, swirling grain, these sanded hardwood slabs have definitely brightened up our day.
Burr sycamore, pippy elm, spalted beech and ripple sycamore all speak with their own voice. Do any cry out to your creative desires?

Well travelled timber crates!
These sturdy wooden packing cases have travelled a long way to be with us this week - roughly 6,166 miles if they went the most direct route!!
Measuring 102 x 89 x 75cm they'll set you back just £15 each, plus we can also deliver if they're too big for your car boot.
They would be perfect for planters, but I'm sure equally at home as a toy box, log store, compost bin or extra large bug hotel.

Fabulous fence panels!
These 12 closeboard fence panels look like they've only just been built. They really are in excellent condition.
Measuring approx 3m long x 1.65m high we're asking for only £18 per panel, and for a small extra charge can deliver locally as well.
Were that already not a fantastic enough offer, we are happy to accept just £200 the lot!
