What We Collect

We collect all types of wood including pallets, cable drums, and timber off-cuts from all kinds of customers including businesses, construction and manufacturing sites.

Please note that we don’t collect green waste or small volumes for domestic customers.

How It Works

Please pile your wood in an accessible place for our vans. There’s no need to cover it or remove nails, screws, door furniture, fixings, pallet fastenings and other metal contamination.

We ensure collections are as simple as possible; our team do all the lifting and use small, caged 12 cubic yard trucks.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our wood collection service is cheaper than hiring a skip.

    100% of the wood that we collect is reused or recycled, ensuring that usable wood is diverted from landfill.

    You only pay for the volume collected and we load professionally to minimise voids.

  • Prices can vary depending on distance and what the wood is, but unlike skips, you only pay for what volume is taken away.

    We work on a cubic yardage basis with a capacity on the vans of 12 cubic yards.

    Please be aware that we can be limited by size or weight so if the van is unable to fit more wood on due to weight then it will be recorded as a full 12 cubic yards.

    We charge £19.50 per cubic yard for domestic collections and £17.50 for commercial customers. All collections must be a minimum of six cubic yards.

  • Please store the wood in an accessible place that is safe for our team to load from.

    We cannot go into skips and we ideally need to get the van as close to the wood as possible so please do you best to make sure that it is safe underfoot and not too muddy or with trip hazards.

    Many sites store the wood in a sectioned off area that ensures that the wood isn’t contaminated or mixed up with other waste – this is perfect!

  • 100% of the wood that we collect is either sold in our Timber Yard, reused or recycled, ensuring that usable wood is diverted from landfill.

    Wood that we are unable to sell or reuse is recycled into chipboard.

  • We generally don’t collect MDF but if this is part of your load please contact us to discuss.

  • We offer a flexible service available at short notice (normally within 2-3 working days).

    We can also provide one-off or repeat collections to suit your needs.
