- Bristol Wood Recycling Project
The Bristol Wood Recycling Project is a not for profit social enterprise based in Bristol, UK and was founded in April 2004. BWRP's profit is not distributed between shareholders or other stakeholders. Instead its profit is re-invested back into the project in order to rescue and re-use some of the vast quantities of timber that is being disposed of in landfills locally each year [ [http://www.bristol-city.gov.uk/ccm/content/Environment-Planning/Rubbish-waste-and-recycling/a-z-of-recycling.en?page=22 Bristol City Council: Household waste - information and advice: A-Z household guide - reduce, reuse & recycle ] ] .
BWRP offers a collection service to the public, whether construction sites, house clearances or anything else. BWRP collect waste wood; off-cuts, defective timber, pallets, chipboard, floor boards; basically whatever wood normally ends up in the skip. BWRP then resell wood back to the public, with poor quality wood sold as firewood. BWRP is dependent on volunteers as well as paid staff in order for it to function. There are also wood cutting facilities on site. BWRP is part of the National Community Wood Recycling Project [ [http://www.bwrp.org.uk/ Bristol Wood Recycling Project ] ] .
