FREE WOOD ON www.wood-turnaround.org.uk

fantasy222

I have just launched a Internet Forum for people wishing to get rid of unwanted wood. It does not matter if they are logs or from building work. It is based of the Freecycle forum where hundreds of people across the UK give and receive items that would have gone into landfill. If you are looking for some logs for the winter or want to get rid of some old skirting board you can visit https://www.wood-turnaround.org.uk
membership of the site is free but you need to be approved which only takes a few clicks from me.
kind regards

And perhaps you could arrange a collaboration with Freecycle? https://www.freecycle.org.uk - loads of groups around the UK, and I'm sure they'd be willing to help.

I take it this is person to person dealing with nobody inbetween to check the wood for termites or woodworm?

I'm interested as I'm running out of friends with trees but the insect problem a few people on here have raised in the past does worry me.

cheers,

Termites maybe; I can't see how woodworm will cause a problem as it's universal anyway.

Excellent idea - I'm constantly shocked by the perfectly decent wood I often see in skips and as your site states the cost in DIY stores.
I wish you every success with the site/forum.

Well done and thanks, Fantasy! I've signed up.

I've burnt waste wood from many sources for years, and apart from a stray woodlouse or spider, no problems.

Am I missing something there doesnt seem to be a forum and it looks like shameless advertising to me

In the meantime if anyone knows where I can get some free woodchip to mulch my garden I'd be grateful. Totnes area (TQ9)

Wood turnaround closed last year due to lack of support.
