How we grade and sort waste wood

As a Community Interest Company we are operating as a social enterprise all our profit is reinvested into our business. We don't have any shareholders and our Directors volunteer their time.

We have 3 full time members of staff, supported by a number of volunteers.

The majority of our wood is collected from the construction industry and is brought back to our workshop for sorting and grading.

Our grading consists of:

• the best wood is used in our workshop to make furniture or other household items or is sold in our timber shop and online
• the offcuts are sold for firewood and kindling
• any pallets are sorted and those that are suitable for reuse are retuned to the pallet industry
• any clean wood that we cannot use is taken to a site in Leicestershire for biomass use
• the small amount that we cannot use is sent for chipping
