About Community Wood Recycling
Founder Richard Mehmed first realised the potential of waste wood in 1998 when he was building a playhouse for his daughter. He spotted some ideal wooden sheets piled outside a local factory, and when he asked if he could take a couple of them for his playhouse he was shocked to find the pile was just a fraction of the excess wooden packaging they had waiting to be incinerated. Richard came up with a plan to cycle more wood out of the waste stream, and the Brighton and Hove Wood Recycling Project was born.
Community Wood Recycling is a nationwide network of 28 social enterprises and we’ve been recycling wood since 1998. We’re helping our planet by saving carbon, and fighting unemployment by giving workplace opportunities to disadvantaged people.
We collect wood waste from companies to stock our nationwide network of reclaimed timber stores. We sell a huge range of wood and we also have lots of wooden products for sale, or you can commission us to make something bespoke.
