Launch of 
We’ve developed a range of kits so you can get crafty while helping divert wood waste from landfill and support LWR at the same time!
Remake kits are great gift s for loved ones, or can be a fun activity for yourself! You can then either give the finished product… or not! You could just make your home look bling instead! Our hook boards and pan rack kits are now on sale, with more kits coming soon! All our kits come with the basic ingredients you need to fix up your project, alongside a ‘how-to’ worksheet. You may need a few tools, like a screwdriver, but we’ve tried to keep everything cheap and simple for you. We have three kit options, so you can choose how messy you want to get. They come:
Leeds Wood Recycling
“Doing social good, using your waste wood”
Leeds Wood Recycling is a social enterprise working to divert waste wood from going to landfill.
We provide a wood collection service, run a reclaimed timber shop, run classes and offer volunteer training opportunities. We work to help ‘marginalised’ people from a range of backgrounds learn new skills, get back into work and make new social networks.
All while helping the environment!
Come and visit us in store – we are open to the public!
What we do
Reduce waste and save resources, operating a professional wood collection service and reclaimed timber shop. Promoting an inclusive environment with opportunities for all abilities, supporting people on the margins of society with practical experience, empowering people to grow skills, gain employment, expand social networks and be part of something positive.
Leeds Wood Recycling offers an ethical, cost effective and convenient wood collection service
We work in a similar way to a skip hire company, but offer a sustainable alternative to waste disposal as 100% of our collected wood waste is sorted, repurposed and recycled in some way.
We collect waste wood from a variety of companies and businesses from firms that have pallets and wood packaging waste, local engineers, theatres, production companies through to private house renovations. We also work with large national building sites: the construction process continually generates so much waste wood, much of which is reusable so keeps our shop stock varied and sustainable.
The wood is then brought back to our warehouse, processed and repurposed to sell to the public in our shop. Doing this is very labour-intensive so creates lots of jobs, training and volunteering opportunities, providing local people with new skills and confidence to find work and improve their lives. We aim to be part of the regeneration of our local area and provide a positive impact.
If your organisation normally uses a skip to get rid of your wood waste – we can compete and offer a better deal!
See our collections page for more detail on how our collection service works or give us a call.
What makes us unique?
We are a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to small skips?
Where you might otherwise use a 4- or 8- yard skip for waste wood, we can come and collect waste wood at a very competitive price. Our caged collection van has a capacity of 12 cubic yards! What we do has huge environmental and social benefits, whilst saving you money.
