Glasgow Wood Recycling produce ethically handcrafted furniture from reclaimed timber in our South Street workshop. We have a wide range of indoor and garden furniture and a bespoke furniture and garden design service to meet all your home and garden requirements. We provide a sustainable alternative to waste wood disposal and offer a competitively priced wood collections service. We also sell timber for your own DIY projects at our workshop if you would rather build things yourself.

Formed in 2007, Glasgow Wood Recycling is a Social Enterprise and Charity, committed to preventing wood from going to landfill. GWR collect wood waste from across the city and find creative ways to reuse and recycle this valuable natural resource. Most of the wood we use would have ended either as wood chips or decomposing in landfill sites releasing greenhouse gases and contributing to climate change. Instead we produce high quality items from reclaimed timber and in doing so create employment, volunteering and training opportunities. Our BIG Lottery funded training programme Making Wood Work provides wood work training and supports people to make progress towards employment. We are helping people to develop confidence and self-esteem and learn a range of useful transferable skills that will help them to get back into paid work.

GWR are part on a nationwide Network of Community Wood Recyclers (NCWRP) our aims are to save resources by reusing and recycling wood and to create jobs and opportunities for people who are further away from the labour market.
