Wood Collections

Collection Pricing

Cheaper and more environmentally friendly than a skip!

We collect wood waste from homes and businesses across the Glasgow area to reuse and recycle. This is a cost effective and convenient service, which provides an environmentally friendly alternative to using skip hire.

Collection Pricing

We use a Transit-sized vehicle with a caged back to pick up wood waste. This has a total capacity of 9 m³, comparable with a large skip. Collections can be done within a 20 mile radius of our South Street Workshop.

A minimum collection fee of £30 is charged to businesses and £20 to domestic customers. We ask customers to be as accurate as possible when describing their wood waste, so we can issue a fair quote.

If your wood has a reuse value further discounts may apply.

Load Size	Mtrs³	Approx weight (tons)	Benchmarks
¼ Truck	2.25	0.25	midi skip
½ Truck	4.5	0.5	small builders skip
¾ Truck	6.75	0.75	builders skip
Full Truck	9	1	large skip

Additional charges may be incurred:

On loads that require more labour, if for example, the van cannot get within 10m of where the wood is being stored.

On wood that is wet and in poor condition and cannot be recycled or reused.

Wood that is painted varnished or treated with hazardous substances.

Our service is simple to use - Instead of putting wood in a skip along with other rubbish, simply pile it up on site until there is a van /skip load.
