Recycling

We are becoming more and more aware of the waste materials from the projects that we carry out and have recently been researching what the alternatives are to sending it to landfill. Various companies offer services to take away sorted waste and recycle it and we will be taking up one of these offers but we are yet to find a service to recycle waste wood and sawdust.

One company suggested taking advantage of sites such as Freecycle and Gumtree. This turned out to be a fantastic suggestion. We have advertised the scrap wood and have had most of it taken away already, after only a few hours we had three responses. We also advertised the sawdust, which is very good for composting but is difficult to store due to the fact that it can be very combustive. We have also had a few enquiries via facebook and twitter.

Our aim is to recycle all of the waste that we produce and avoid any excess waste being produced. If anyone has any use for scraps, sawdust or even the containers that our lacquers come in, please contact us via our website.
