Glasgow Wood Recycling, the city’s only wood recycling social enterprise, have just launched their new eco catalogue.

Packed full of reclaimed wood products including planters, water butts and raised beds, the catalogue demonstrates how recycling and reusing can be good for people as well as the environment.

The product range has been made possible through the hard work of both staff and volunteers. Over twenty local people from the Glasgow West Area have contributed their time and energy to Glasgow Wood Recycling’s volunteer program, learning new skills such as sanding wood, cutting wood and making products.

“People with no prior experience of wood work or recycling can contribute to the project.” comments Peter Lavelle, Glasgow Wood Recycling’s Project Manager

“We have a great team of folk and would encourage anyone keen to learn new practical skills to consider volunteering with us. It is a fantastic way to meet people and make a contribution to your community.”

Glasgow Wood Recycling, who have had support from the social economy team at Glasgow West Regeneration Agency, aim to become a self sustaining enterprise and a vibrant community resource by recycling and reusing wood. Established just over a year ago, the busy organisation provides a wood waste collection service to businesses and homes across the city, sells reclaimed wood and reclaimed wood products. The catalogue promotes this fantastic work and provides inspiration to budding gardeners and greenies.
