How do we work?

For one-off collections our team will be happy to assess what you have and give you a quote.

We offer a great customer oriented service. No need for skip hire, no landfill, we offer truly flexible solutions. Every construction site produces wood waste of all kinds of lengths, shapes and sizes. The problem is that most waste wood on a site just doesn’t fit into a skip. The pictures below quite literally speak volumes.

The first two photos show a typical collection area next to a standard 12cuyd skip. The waste timber and pallets here would clearly be much more than one skip full. After loading into our 12 cubic yard caged van, this site was charged for 8cuyd, a massive saving of not only money, but also time as only one collection took place and there was only one movement on site. For one-off collections our team will be happy to assess what you have and give you a quote. If you produce regular amounts of timber waste we can arrange regular collections. Our smallest clients call us every once in a while, our largest site produce four loads a week. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
