OUR STORY
Bristol Wood Recycling Project
Welcome to the Bristol Wood Recycling Project! For two decades, we've worked tirelessly to create a vibrant center for sustainability and reuse. Our self-sustaining model redirects waste wood from landfills, providing affordable, salvaged timber to the diverse communities of Bristol. Thanks to the support of the national Community Wood Recycling Project and our committed team of staff and volunteers we’ve rescued over seven thousand tons of wood since 2004, positively contributing to both the environment and our community.
​
As a not-for-profit Social Enterprise without shareholders or dividends, the income we make from sales and collections are locked into the business so that we can better meet our objectives for people and planet. This means that after the bills are paid, we work principally to create an inclusive, resourceful community in which well-being is primary. Bristol provides a fertile social ecology for this sort of thing, and in 2011 we evolved into a Cooperative enabling greater agency and ownership for staff and volunteers alike, as well as working in solidarity with the global Cooperatives movement.
